Re: [CentOS] What is the minimum ISO to build a server?
Florin Andrei a écrit : Often I just use the first CD (out of the regular set of install CDs). http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/centos/5.2/isos/i386/CentOS-5.2-i386-bin-1of6.iso Choose customize package groups (or whatever is the name of that option) and then unselect all package groups except Base. This will give you a relatively minimal system. If you want to install anything after that, just do a yum install. That's one of the very few drawbacks from CentOS, compared to other distros. If you're a non-english user, you have to use either a DVD or the set of CDs. When I install either a server or a desktop, I always start out from a minimal system (that is, everything unchecked except 'Base'). CentOS 5.1 needed CDs 1, 4 and 5 to do a minimal install. With CentOS 5.2, CDs 1, 3 and 4 are needed. Two extra CDs to install a total amount of three localization packages. And there seems to be no way to abort the install after CD1 and then fetch the remaining packages (which ones?) from the internet. But then, as german writer Kurt Tucholsky said (referring to a beautiful woman): she only lacked a flaw to be perfect. :o) Niki ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If you have network access and a supported NIC, the netinstall.iso will work. I'd want local access to a repository though. Otherwise your install is going to be rather slow. I've read that you can't install from the livecd, never tried it myself. also http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOS5 refers to being able to do a minimal install with only the 1st cd. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I've done this, works fine. The root file system is usually about 800 MB, after manually adding a few packages, I usually end up at about 1 GB.

Re: [CentOS] What is the minimum ISO to build a server?
One thing that I did that saved me some time is copy all of the ISO's to a 4Gig USB drive to intall. It was nice not burning CDs and changing them every 10 mins. Thanks for all of the tech assists!!
