I'm trying to install MGA-2 on an 8TB logical drive provided by an lsi
logic mega raid.
is the install using fdisk or gparted to partiton the disk now-a-days???
FDisk won't deal with more that 2TB
I went to the <ctl><alt><F2> console and can not find parted, only fdisk...

Helo,
I'm in the process of redeploying automatically my firewall machine,
using Mageia. For that I'd like to have a very minimal install.
However, I'm ending up with 580 packages, among them a lot of X11
content, whereas I want a text base install only.
I had the same experience with Mageia 1 - the lowest I could get was
somewhere in the high 500. I spent some time tinkering with that but
whatever I tried, whichever package I wanted to remove, I always ended
up with the removal of part of the base system. In the end I gave up
(possibly due to lack of knowledge) :(
I just checked Olivier's suggestion, ending up with some 270 packages...
Well I *know* i can do better:
sudo chroot /users/rpmbootstrap/mageia/2/x86_64 /bin/bash
bash-4.2# rpm -aq | wc -l
172
That chroot is made by a tool I'm developing to create build
environments for multiple Linux distributions (supports Fedora, CentOS,
Mageia, Mandriva, OpenSuSE, debian, Ubuntu). Cf: rpmbootstrap in Mageia
(SVN at http://trac.project-builder.org/browser/devel/rpmbootstrap tar
at ftp://ftp.project-builder.org/src/rpmbootstrap-0.12.1.tar.gz).
The base approach is to cpio first a list of packages (the minimal one
which allows urpmi to work) and then reinstall them running urpmi.
List of packages is at:
http://trac.project-builder.org/browser/devel/pb-modules/etc/pb.conf
line 389/390.
So I was hoping to get near that number after all. Of course a chroot
doesn't require a boot loader, so all the packages brought due to the
install of grub are creating the extra blurb.
So I already have one mean to make it as small as possible. Now I'm
working on another case, where I just use auto_inst. So I'd like to be
able to use all the params available that could make me as near as
possible of 170 + grub and its deps (the real ones).
Will answer to some other mail in //
Bruno.
