bloat!

[snow]

thanx, red hat 7.1 seems a little bloated, I was wondering what sort of things I could install at a minimum for command line, file management (delete, copy, write), the gcc compiler. If you could give or refer me to a basic list. I dont' really need a brower or a gui, so that should really cut down on the bloat. Thanx a lot.

Snow,

Don't know how advanced you are, but you might try reading Linux From Scratch.

One of the reasons for the document is to help people learn how to build minimal Linux implementations. The Preface Chapter 1.2 talks about a 100 MB implementation being pretty easy to create. Of course, you shouldn't try this unless you are pretty fluent with Linux, and are not afraid to mess things up. Its about as geekie as things come and after you are done, you will probably be able to teach Statica a trick or two.

What do you know, I now have 500 posts.
