Is it just me, or is there a lot of extraneous 'stuff' in the default profiles during setup? I'm no pro by any stretch of the imagination, but it seems like there is a lot of extras loaded up even when you select the 'Server' profile, and just want to do some simple stuff like have a LAN server. I won't argue about the various perl/python/apache i.e. server stuff for scripting etc., but a lot of other crap like touchpad, for instance. Who normally selects a Server profile, and then wants software for working w/ a laptop touchpad. Similarly vpnd. Nice, but probably a very small portion of the people who actually set up a RH box actually want much less need a VPN. And then all the r* stuff gets loaded up, and a whole batch of user apps, like the server is going to be used interactively from the console on a daily basis. Am I not seeing things right, or is this kinda goofy? Yeah, I know. Select the 'Custom' profile and select single packages, or make my own kickstart file. I've done the former, and contemplated the latter (beyond my current limited capabilities). Seems like I'm always short one little file or something, and at a loss of how to figure out what exact package I need to install to scratch an itch.
Just curious if I'm the only one out here who sees things this way. Thanks, Monte -- All right, breaks over. Back on your heads!! _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
