An AppVM will not take much space, even if the template is very back as it
only stores the delta? As such you won't save a single byte if the old
template VM of the sys-VMs, which is likely fedora-28/fedora-29 is still in
use.
Is there a list, what packages have to be added for this task?
See through the links others have provided, this was a good starting point
for me to create my own template.
You can also look into my notes here:
https://github.com/one7two99/my-qubes/blob/master/docs/history.txt
This covers how I have setup my templates, you can just run all commands
from dom0:
Hint: you need to make sure that you have the right wifi drivers in your
sys-net VM.
I am using the iwl6000g2a-firmware package, which is for my Lenovo x230,
you might need another package depending on your wifi card.
If you have trouble finding the right driver, ask here.
