Re: [Asterisk-Users] Absolute Minimum Installation Packages

[Adam Hart]

why start this with redhat? I'd say it's the worse linux dist to attempt to make a small footprint. Try gentoo. If you want asterisk with knoppix, then start with that or debian (of which it's based) ----- Original Message ----- From: JR Richardson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 31, 2003 12:31 PM Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Absolute Minimum Installation Packages I�m trying to get the total Linux/* installation size as small as possible.  I�m wondering if anyone has looked at the installed packages list from the Redhat installation [rpm �qa] and has parsed out all packages not needed for * to run.  I follow the custom install guide from Andy Powell but the installation yields 948+ Meg with 340 installed packages.  I�m sure most of those packages can be eliminated.   If the installation can be reduced to below, say 600 Meg, then there�s an opportunity to harden * into a KNOPPIX Customization.   BTW, has anyone already tried to produce a KNOPPIX * Customization?   Thanks in advance.   JR
