What I use, during install, is based on the "z/VM and Linux on IBM
System z: The Virtualization Cookbook" is:
Software
Default
Detail Selection
Search “redbooks”
Actions, Select
Accept
Accept all other packages needed
Patterns:
Select Server Base
Select 32 bit runtime
Unselect all others (changes 150 from 2,203,096K to
1,007,840K)
AFGA license agreement
Accept
Automatic changes
Ok
Accept
This gives me an installed system which uses 952,872 1k blocks on
dasda1. That takes a lot of pressure off a 3390-3 volume for future
needed "stuff".
So far, I haven't missed anything vs having the default package
selection.l

I removed many packages and in affect, put my Linux guests on a diet.
Just
a few more questions:
I used local yum servers and YaST2 to perform all my maintenance and
product installations.
Can I remove the contents of the following which tends to grow. I
think
these grow whenever I change the installation sources and YaST2
performs a
sync by default.
/var/lib/zmd
/var/lib/zypp
We clone our Linux guests from a master guest which have already been
converted to SLES10-SP2. Once I have my other Linux systems upgraded
to
SP2, can I remove the following and stop mirroring these channels in
yup
since SP2 is a replacement?
/var/cache/yup/SLES10-SP1-Online
/var/cache/yup/SLES10-SP1-Updates
Are there any other DASD space saving ideas?
Thanks
Peter
