Dear Alexander, AS> Hi. AS> As far as I guess, the point is minimal set of packages for vserver, right? AS> This set is IMHO even far from being optimal, moreover, such packages AS> as gpm, man, modutils and so on and so forth are completely useless in vserver. My almost freshly-created debian vserver contains 91 package, including mc and ssh and maybe something else. So the
I guess that completely depends. I do belive gpm is require by vim, modutils are require by the rc scripts I do believe. And *I* require man pages as well if I use vserver for hosting for others *they* require man pages. Sure you might know all the switches for grep, find and tar but I sure do not know them all just the basic ones (been a unix admin for 8 years now with everything from Linux, Freebsd, bsd386, Irix, HPUX) and then you have things like ps and a few others that are different depending on the system. AS> actual minimal set is even smaller. Although debian's packaging system is far more advanced than rh's, I don't really think that rh requires bigger number of packages. I may post my minimal set AS> in debian if someone needs it. I was asked to post what I had come up with. I guess my notion in my mail wasn't enough that it was what I felt was needed and useful. / Eje AS> On Mon, 13 Jan 2003 10:40:00 +0100 AS> Marcin Sucho�ebrski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Eje Gustafsson wrote: >> > A while back I was asked to post the RH 8.0 minimum list that I had >> > come up with. >> >> Your minimum IMO is far away from minimum RPM set. :-) I work on it, now i've 108 >RPMs and it will go down.
