I have a pretty slimmed-down server that is a disk and PXE boot server (NFS, HTTP, TFTP), NTP server (with a GPS clock source), UPS monitor (with NUT, not apcupsd), and NNTP cache. It has 257 RPMs installed, and it uses about 1G of a 4G CF card (the OS lives on flash so the disks can spin down when idle). As I said, to determine your own minimum, start with a base install and work down from there. Look at requires/depends with rpm, and run "yum remove foo" (and answer "n" if you don't like what is going to be removed). -- Chris Adams <cmad...@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
