Just to clarify my agreement - ppp, etc., is only one example. A "Core"
install, in my opinion, should be the bare minimum for a networked
server with remote SSH access. That's it.
We maintain minimal kickstarts with around a 500M footprint, and it does
require a large amount of hacking to get it down to a proper core of
needed packages, in spite of the "mandatory" and "required" dictations.
Kind Regards,
Michael
