Helo, I'm in the process of redeploying automatically my firewall machine, using Mageia. For that I'd like to have a very minimal install.
However, I'm ending up with 580 packages, among them a lot of X11
content, whereas I want a text base install only.
If I try to remove some of them, I end up having to remove basesystem
which isn't an option.
So why is libdrakx-kbd-mouse mandatory e.g. in basesystem ?
Another question is I could urpme lib64xrandr2 (and erase as a
consequence 26 packages, none of them being in my list).
Why did they came on my install first ??
Is there a way to have the smallest working text base install
possible ?
Here is my package list:
'default_packages' => [
'acpi',
'acpid',
'basesystem',
'dhcp-client',
'grub',
'kernel-server-latest',
'locales-fr',
'nss',
'ntpd',
'numlock',
'openssh-server',
'openssh-client',
'postfix',
'rsyslog',
'squid',
'squidguard',
'pm-utils',
'shorewall',
'sudo',
'tmpwatch',
'vim-enhanced',
'wget',
],
I'm working at the moment with Mageia 2 but could try with cauldron if
needed.
Thanks in advance for your advises,
Bruno.
