Hi All
Can anyone help me with doing a minimal linux
installation.
I have the 3CDs for the Mandrake Linux 8.2
distro.
The Mandrake site and documentation state ..."New
installation features include ... a "minimal install" mode to fit a Mandrake
system into 65 MB of your hard-disk.".
I want to set up my internet gateway, so I only
want DNS, NAT, DHCP, some modem drivers, the ability to remotely login and
the basic command line interface and console tools. I do not need any GUI apps
or environment and I don't need Xfree86. Can anyone let me know how to set up the minimal
installation?
Should I just de-select all of the software options
in the installer?
What are the essential packages I need to get the
gateway up and running, without all the other bells and tassles.
Thanks in advance.
Simon
