Lists the last installed package first. That way back would be one way to strip
it down.
Here's a completely empiric approach, tried out on three different
machines. It's not perfect, but it's already quite usable :
The best way to do this is a new minimal install either in the GUI
installer or with kickstart. And build up from there.
If you do an install to e.g. CentOS-base.qcow2, that image already has
machine-id and hostname set. While not running a VM, use guestfish to
mount the qcow2, and make

Hi,
I wonder if there's an easy way to strip down an installation to the
bare minimum, e. g. the packages you get when you select minimum

In Slackware, the bone-headed package manager slackpkg has a few nice
options, among which 'slackpkg clean-system', which removes all
