Re: [MLUG] bare minimum fedora 7 install

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I use Fedora and it's been my experience that you have to manually rip 
out the crap you don't want. Lots of work but the plus side is that you 
end up knowing what packages exist, what they do, and how they relate to 
each other. I don't use Fedora's Apache, PHP, MySQL, etc as I perfer to 
compile my own servers w/ very specific options (gives better results 
and you know exactly what you have).

I haven't done much w/ Fedora 7 yet as it died trying to initialize the 
install on the only machine I bothered testing so far. I like to wait 
until things have had the bugs worked out before using them on servers. 
I could give you a list of Fedora 6 packages I have installed on my main 
server if you like although it may not exactly match your needs.
