We would like to install Asterisk with a minimal centos build. We are writing kick-starts to install packages, does anyone know or have to hand a packages list which installs minimum system requirements for asterisk? Preferably this will not exceed the contents of disk 1
View 4 RepliesAfter a long time I tried ubuntu(9.10) again on my fileserver, I have some remarks; why does a minimal server installation include X/openoffice? I don't need document conversion on a fileserver and I bet a lot of people don't. Wouldn't it be better to create a new server package and leave minimal minimal? low memory installs (64mb) don't work unless you configure swap by hand in between things, 64mb ram is a lot in my eyes. I mean, not to be rude but if I wanted all this I could've better installed Solaris.
That said it's stable and running fine. Since it's my home fileserver I tried to convert my previously created raid10 mirror on an adaptec 1200 card to a softraid 5 solution. This is wat I did:

I compiled and installed the Asterisk ztdummy package because there is no rpm for it, unfortunately, and i even reinstalled asterisk, but i still get the "No application 'Meetme' for extension..." error when trying to conference. I do a "module show", and it lists other modules that were compiled with the zt source, but not ztdummy.Does anyone know how to fix this? This is more than a passing interest or hobby, because i need to conference about 3 to 5 people to help me test a new Website Content Management System and User Forums Management System i am about to launch as a service.

I have a new installed CentOS with Asterisk on a dell p4 286 ram, 40gigHD and am unable to get the asterisk gui to start. After new installation i am able to get all the way to the root@localhost level. Every command I use (from forum answers and site searches) deems a "no such file or directory" response from the server.s a precaution, I re-downloaded and re-installed the application. Is there a direct command to run at root@localhost to start the asterisk gui and if so what is it? When I type asterisk -r (or any command with asterisk in it) it responds "asterisk is running in a different directory". If not, can someone please direct me to the correct help section to uninstall CentOS until I am able to test on my own machine at home and learn the entire system before reinstalling it as our phone server. I have limited time at work to get the VoIP to install and run.

How to install absolutely minimal Gnome without gnome-games, any cdrecord, dvd rw-tools, dialup modem tools, gnome-screensaver, festival etc. on Centos 5.5? If I try to remove these software separately then Gnome is gone.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThere is a way to have a CentOS installation very very minimal?Not like Damn Small Linux, but similar (as footprint)My need is create some Virtual Machine that only have BIND and SSH on it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI use CentOS as a host for VMWare virtual machines. I like the CentOS install to be as minimal as possible. However, if I try to remove stuff I don't want at the install stage, the install invariably crashes. So I just accept the defaults, and it works fine.
So I would like to know the best way to get rid all the stuff I don't want (which is pretty well everything except Gnome, vi, samba and an email reader).

Looking at the various OS image download options, I see that I need to download/burn 8 ISO images for CentOS5.5 x86_64. Trying to see if it is at-all possible to avoid downloading/burning all 8 CD's, and make-do with the 1st one alone. My target platform is a commodity desktop running AMD AthlonII X2 250, with dual-channel 4GB DDR3 @1333MHz, and 500GB 7200rpm SATA (no RAID, SW or HW).
I read in another forum post that for minimal install without X, the 1st CD should suffice. Is this correct ? While I do not expect this forum to answer OpenVZ questions, but if someone happens to have experience in installing OpenVZ on such a system, how much extra I might have to download online, to get the system functional.
The guestOS in the OpenVZ partitions would be a mix of CentOS5.5 64-bit and 32-bit, and few running Ubuntu 10.04.1 32-bit. I am told that this is possible. Effectively it means I'd need the (pseudo?) 32-bit library support.
Continuing on my quest to build a system with sole purpose of being a LAMP server, I am trying to have the bare minimum number of packages installed. I'm not trying to disable as many deamons as possible, but actually remove any package that is not required. It might sound a bit extreme but each package that is installed that is not needed is using valuable space on the expensive (and small) 36GB 15krpm SAS disk.
Also it is a damage control approach, in that assuming a cracker finds an exploit in Apache or PHP that allows them to run executables on the filesystem then taking away as many tools as possible will help in damage limitation. For example I don't want an SSH client installed on the system as it has no purpose for me but could be used by a cracker to access other systems on the network, if they compromise that system.
I have installed the absolute minimum from the 5.3 install by deselecting everything during install but that still leaves a great deal of unnecessary packages installed. Seeing as how the system is a 64bit installation and will have no 32bit apps running on it I have first uninstalled all the i386 versions of various libraries. I presume their only function is to provide compatibility for 32bit apps.
I have been looking for information about removing other packages but I don't seem to be able to find information on real dependancies. For example I believe I have no need for dmraid as it is for managing software RAID arrays that I have no intention using. but if I attempt to remove it the dependancies include kernel and mkinitrd. What I can't figure out though is if these are hard dependancies in that those packages will fail to work or soft ones that simply mean without dmraid it will not be possible to configure the software raid module that is loaded into the kernel.
What packages would people recommend to remove, anyone seen a good guide to reducing down CentOS/RHEL to the absolute minimum ? python-elementtree-1.2.6 : Is this really required by YUM ? m2crypto-0.16 x86_64 : Is this really used by YUM, I didn't think YUM connected via SSL ?
Does anyone have a ready to deploy kickstart file for creating KVM images? I don't have access to a CentOS machine or a spare computer and would need to create images for a machine on the other side of the Atlantic.I would need something that would create an absolute minimal CentOS installation. I tried to search for something online, but couldn't find anything.

whether the command-line tool "mysql" comes with mysql-server or mysql-client (I installed both at once, so I have no idea). It occurs to me that this is a good opportunity to learn more about linux package management.

I have already used it with no problems, but for some reasons I had to reinstall the system, and I got this problem since then. So, I can't remove packages because the list is empty (picture attached), and for the same reason I can't add new sofware from the Installation DVD.
