RE: [Cooker] minimum install
It's more than 54MB, though. It's actually closer to 180MB, with around 140 packages. Going well, it depends on the skill/class. did you try expert/workstation is that 180mb installed or total rpm size if its installed size then could you give me a list of the commands (script) to build this out. Pretty simple. Expert. Server. Deselect all the package groups. Do not select individual packages. Ta da! You'll get about 180MB of pretty basic packages. I went in and installed about 20-30 more packages by hand, and had everything I needed for an internal server here at work.

Re: [Cooker] minimum install
another thought about a minimum install: why do I need to switch CDs in a minimum install...?? (rute-0.3.0-3mdk.noarch.rpm is on the Ext-CD) Could this please be relocated to the Inst-CD in the final release..? Thanks Christian -- Things that make you go "Hmmm": "If a train station is where the train stops, what is a workstation?"

RE: [Cooker] minimum install
In expert, if you choose server, the minimum, you get base + MAKEDEV at fetchmail file ftp glibc hexedit ipchains ld.so libnet mailx mirrordir mkinitrd mkxauth netkit-base pam portmap pwdb routed rsh rsync samba sharutils slocate tcp_wrappers telnet-server urpmi vlock I tried this this morning after an rsync, and it left me with a useless system. Going to try again, wouldn't surprise me if there's a problem with the sync (a few others are reporting problems..). To be a little more detailed, when the install finished and rebooted, it prompted me for a runlevel. I tried 3, and it didn't budge. Oh well, no big deal. Like I said, I'm trying again a little later today, so I'll let you know what happens. =) Don Head [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Linux Mentor, LCA, Network+ [1 314 692-1942] Wave Technologies, Inc.

RE: [Cooker] minimum install
runlevel. I tried 3, and it didn't budge. Oh well, no big deal. this of course not the way it should be ;) Nope. And a second try after another rsync revealed the that problem was on my end. I had a few bad packages (apparently I got bitten by the rsync bug). So.. it works. I did an Expert Server install, selecting no additional packages or package groups, and was greeted with a working system. It's more than 54MB, though. It's actually closer to 180MB, with around 140 packages. Going to try yet again as that seems a little high (wondering if maybe I selected something by accident), but that's what I'm looking at right now. Still, 180MB isn't too bad. It would be nice if it could get a little smaller, though. Don Head [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Linux Mentor, LCA, Network+ [1 314 692-1942] Wave Technologies, Inc.

With such a base there is no need for an option

convenient to be able to choose the base and X

in fact, you can't install the 54MB without cheating. In every case, DrakX
ensure that you have more that this bare minimum, unless you use some tricks
(defcfg, auto_install)
So, in expert, if you choose workstation (was normal), the minimum, you get base +
MAKEDEV XFree86 XFree86-75dpi-fonts cpio eject file ftp hexedit icewm-light
kudzu ld.so libnet linux_logo linuxconf locales mailx menu mkinitrd mtools
slocate telnet urpmi
In expert, if you choose development, the minimum, you get base +
MAKEDEV at cpio eject file ftp gcc gdb glibc glibc-devel hexedit indent kudzu
ld.so libnet linux_logo locales mailx make mkinitrd ncompress pam perl procinfo
slocate telnet unzip urpmi zlib
In expert, if you choose server, the minimum, you get base +
MAKEDEV at fetchmail file ftp glibc hexedit ipchains ld.so libnet mailx
mirrordir mkinitrd mkxauth netkit-base pam portmap pwdb routed rsh rsync samba
