Re: [expert] A small base to start from.

You could do this by choosing the expert:server options during install,
and go into the 'Install Packages screen', deselect all the things you
don't want / need, then go into the 'Select Individual pacakges ' screen
and clean out some more, but make sure to select the dns server (bind)
packages you need.  It might be a good idea to follow immediately w/
running Bastille, as it has options to put your dns setup in a chroot
jail to make it a little safer.

 What is the smallest securiest installation I can setup for a DNS
 server. NO games, samba etc.
 
 Thanks in Advance.

Almost any distribution should do the job. Look at the Linux Router
project. Also look at Trinity OS for your security.

Setting up a caching only DNS server is easy. If you want it to be the
authoritative server for your domain, that's a bit more work.
