Does anyone know if they removed all the X11 dependency garbage for a server install? An RHEL5 was approaching the bloat of a Solaris install. There was no "click here to install a slim server" option.
- freiheit 16y agoFrom some investigation, I think the simple answer is "yes", as long as you leave out devel, java, and a few specific tools. And totally yes for all the Xserver stuff. I've got a kickstarted system with "@additional-server-devel @base, @compat-libraries, @core, @development, @network-tools, @performance, @server-platform-devel, @system-admin-tools" package groups and a few specific package tweaks. Fits in under 2GB. Looks like there's no X server stuff, but there's libX11, a few other libX* packages, and gtk2 installed... It's being pulled in by some of the java stuff, seekwatcher, latencytop, python-matplotlib and a couple other devel things I probably don't care about. There's only 29 packages it wants to remove if I tell yum to remove libX11-common. Looks to me like with a few more tweaks to my kickstart I'll be able to get all the X11 deps out.
