honestly, I hope it works out. i often think about using the LFS project and rolling my entirely own distro. there's a lot of garbage in all these distros (and software/libraries), i would love to strip it all out. the shift in centos mantra has definitely left a vacuum in the market. as for pkg counts, i suspect you're number is ~600 or so. i strip the rhel based hpc image i build at work from the kickstart @Core group with additional subtractions (stupid firmware/etc rpms) and then build up from there with the things i definately need. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit https://beowulf.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
