Hello,
Whenever I install RedHat linux, it always gives me a lot of
stuff that I don't need. I am wondering what is the smallest
configuration for RedHat Linux 4.2 so that I can do the following...
1. Cruse the Net using X Windows (kill redbarron, I will use
Netscape)
- also kill FVWM 95 by RedHat and customized by
RedHat except for their configuration utilites
2. Run email, telenet, and news reader client (any good GUI
email reader client?)
3. Have JAVA compiler and virtual machine
4. Be able to compile Kernel
5. Have major scripts programs such as Perl and C.
6. Basic and common unix command for printing such as
genscript, ghostview, and msdos floopy reading commands such as mcopy
and etc.
7. must have SMB server
8. PPP, Ethernet TCP/IP (DHCP and also assigned)
Or maybe a shorter list:
I want to KILL off any unwanted servers like HTTP, FTP, and so
on and leave SMB server so that I can still communicate with my
friends computers or my home computer running Windows. Otherwise all
should be gone. Also, no more unnecessary development libraries except
for basic C, C++ compiler and sufficient to compile the kernel. I
guess I just want a system that occusionally I can write a short C,
C++, scripts, and JAVA. No more of X-Windows development stuffs. Just
strictly designed to run the system as a user with absolutly no
interest in software design.
