Well, we do currently have the "minimal" environment, which
boils
down to @core + the couple things anaconda forces (authconfig,
system-config-firewall-base, kernel, bootloader). You can get to
that via kickstart with just:
%packages
@core
%end
But it's not close to what some of these people want out of a
"minimal" install.
For reference:
@core + kernel:
Install 38 Packages (+157 Dependent packages)
Total download size: 128 M
Installed size: 506 M
But hey, I just want something smaller!
systemd + util-linux + bash + initscripts + passwd + yum:
Install 7 Packages (+132 Dependent packages)
Total download size: 106 M
Installed size: 446 M
But hey, I don't need to install packages or want python!
systemd+ util-linux + bash + initscripts + passwd:
Install 6 Packages (+108 Dependent packages)
Total download size: 94 M
Installed size: 401 M
