Fedora Installation :: Select Packages For Minimal Install?
Apr 5, 2010I'm new to Fedora (not linux) and I was wondering how I would go about doing a minimal install of fedora 12. I downloaded the live disc but it doesn't give me installation options (I'm new to minimal installs so I don't know that much). I also searched all over looking for a fedora minimal install iso, something similar to the ubuntu minimal install iso that is only 12mb.

Jun 15, 2009I live in a country where 1Mbit broadband is a premium service for large businesses. I am paying a little over $40 a month for a 128k connection with monthly capping. I want to download Fedora but the download is just huge for my connection, especially as it is used for work 14 hours a day. I have attempted the LiveCD and got the 'ext4 cannot be used for boot' error. I also have several other specialised distros on this machine and it's going to be a pain inserting a new boot partition just for Fedora.
Like it is possible with Slackware, can I just download the first CD of the Fedora 11 set and get a minimal install from this or does Fedora need the whole set of disks? Is there a simple enough net install option that I could use instead? I can't understand why they can't just release something like Ubuntu's alternate install CD.
Fedora Installation :: Boot - Grub Drops Into Its Minimal Shell And Gives A Command Line
Jun 12, 2009I'd like to say I'm very impressed with Fedora 11. I'm a long time Linux user and I've tried many distros. But, I usually keep only the best on my laptop. For a long time that was Ubuntu but, I think Fedora 11 has made some key improvements over Ubuntu and I'm eager to switch. The problem is: I haven't been able to run Fedora as anything other than on the Live CD. Everything works perfectly and it installs but, when I reboot, Grub begins. Instead of booting, however, Grub drops into its minimal shell and gives me a command line.
I've tried installing it a number of ways now and have read much about the problems with Ext4 on Grub and took special care to see that Grub has its own, separate, /boot ext3 partition. Even then, no luck. My hardware should work fine. I've got an HP DV-5 with 4GB RAM, AMD Turion 64-bit dual-core @ 2 Ghz, and an IDE 250GB hard drive. I'm working with the 64-bit Fedora 11 Live disc with KDE as the Gui.
Ubuntu Servers :: Create A New Server Package And Leave Minimal Minimal?
Feb 17, 2010After 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:

Fedora Installation :: Install Fedora 12 I386 Using CD#1 For A Minimal Install?
Dec 19, 2009I'm trying to install Fedora 12 i386 using CD#1 for a minimal install. For that during installation I selected only Base. For some reason when I started installation it was trying to install 432 packages (Base has got about 80 or so packages). i can understand there might be some dependencies, but really that much? I kept going with the installation of 432 packages, but it finally failed on gtk2-immodule-xim-2.18.3-19.fc12.i686.rpm.I need just minimal install, so I can install LXDE later on by myself.

View 6 Replies View RelatedDebian Installation :: Minimal GUI Install With Web Browser
Nov 1, 2014I have recently acquired a micro-sized-PC (A Dell FX130) which comes with a VIA C7 processor, 1GB RAM and 1GB onboard flash. The only application I need is a web-browser, I will use the FX130 to access a (very limited) number of web applications and to download/print-html-to-PDF - putting files onto a USB thumb-drive. I want to encrypt the disk to guard against tampering, and to run a restrictive firewall.
When I try to install the i386 debian-7.7.0 image - I run into the snag that it won't let me use guided configuration for the 1GB flash drive... and - when I guess at a sensible partitioning... I find that I run out of space during the standard installs. I note, however, that a whole bunch of significant applications (which I don't need) are being installed.
I am sure I'm missing something - is there an easy way to do a "minimal" GUI install that would make it easy to fit (just) a web browser (Chrome - ideally) and dependencies onto a 1GB bootable flash drive in a 'Debian-standard' fashion?
OpenSUSE Install :: Minimal Installation And Criptografy?
Mar 4, 2010I want to install two Linux in my P.C. two partitions mounted to /(one for linux1 e one for linux 2). one partitions mounted to /home (for linux 1 e linux 2 the same time). Two partitions mounted to swap (one for linux1 e one for linux 2). One partitions for BackUP (with the size of 20gb). I have an HD of 80gb. My memory is 256mb.

If i encrypt one partition, what is the difference? I can install two Desktops in the same O.S? I want to install minimum requirements, these programs that come in KDE or Gnome desktop, i don't wanna install they, i can remove from instalation from DVD? I can install Gnome and KDE in the Same time, from the instalation from DVD?

Feb 19, 2010I've been playing with Ubuntu for severla years, although I've been a casual user, always just installing from the live disc. I'm comfortable with apt-get, and not scared to format, reformat, get angry, calm down, reinstall, etc.
I'd like to upgrade my Dell Mini 9 netbook wti 9.10. one of my problems with 9.04 is space. with the standard install I'm using 3.7 of my 4 Gb of HD and want to try and streamline that. I've starting have problems upgrading my apps because of space to downlod the upgrade to.
I plan on formating and starting from scratch with the minimal CD (transfered to USB), but I want a clear recipe of steps.
Main goals:
- Standard gnome interface (not remix)
- Open office writer, calc, and impress
- Chromium
I know once I get started to type "cli" to install the basics, but then what? Many of the guides I've seen online are several years old. I can handle chromium and Open Office once I'm all up and running, but I don't want to install and then uninstall firefox, gimp, etc.

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Possible To Do Minimal Install With 3G Modem?
Jan 13, 2011I recently downloaded the latest minimal Ubuntu ISO from the official download page.
Is it possible to do a minimal install if I do not have Ethernet capable internet?
I use one of those 3G (cellular) USB modems from companies like Verizon. Basically, it's a cell-phone, with the phone component taken out.
I did something similar with Debian recently, but I had to install the kernel along with the 'dpkg' package, to the HDD. From there, I had to reboot into the core system, install the packages like ppp, wvdial, etc, and then continue with a fresh install of the rest of the system.
There doesn't seem to be a way for me to either install the core files to HDD, or install the internet connectivity packages in the live environment for my modem.

iptables isn't installed, but I want to install nftables since it's what iproute2 is to net-tools.
And it doesn't even have NetworkManager either and so far I found out ifconfig (net-tools) has been dropped in favor of iproute2, although that is just what Wikipedia says.

"apt-cache search iproute2" revealed there is only iproute.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Why Is Natty Minimal Install So Much Bigger Than On Maverick?
May 25, 2011I have a couple of 64bit Maverick installs from the minimal CD.They each have about 1100 packages installed. When I started to upgrade one to Natty with the Upgrade Manager, it told me it wanted to install 205 new packages (along with upgrading 877).205 new packages seems like a lot of growth in the minimal install.Why do I need those 205 packages?Then I looked at the minimal CD page where I saw that the minimal CD itself (which has lists of packages not the packages) grew from 15.6 to 22MB.So, did the minimal install just bloat up with Natty or what? Is there an even-more-minimal install?

View 12 Replies View RelatedFedora Security :: Minimal Install - Encrypted Root Fs?
Dec 2, 2010I like to do a minimal install, and then run some of my own scripts to install the rest of the packages I need, so to keep a lean system. When installing F14 with a partitioning scheme as follows:
Code:
/boot - 500MB
LVM
- swap - 2048 MB
- / - 15GB
- /home - Rest of file system - Encrypted
Everything works fine and the encryption works with no problem. However, as a friend pointed out to me, if you partition as follows:
Code:
/boot - 100MB/ - Rest of filesystem - Encrypted You are not able to boot the system when doing a minimal install. Meaning: you get up to the point to where you need to enter your password to decrypt the filesystem, and then nothing but..., well, nothing. However, and here it gets interesting, if you use the same partition layout, and you install the "Graphical Desktop", everything works fine. As I can not understand why this happens, I am currently testing a partition setup like so:
Code:
/boot - 100MB
LVM - Encrypted
- / - Rest of filesystem
Just to see if that works.
Anyhow: to make a long story short: It seems that the minimal install "forgets" to add some packages which are needed to decrypt the filesystem. Does anyone know which package this could be or why this occurs, so it can be added as part of the minimal install?
Fedora Servers :: How To Setup Weave Minimal Server
Feb 14, 2011As I do not want to entrust my firefox data Mozilla's Server and have a server runnig anyway, I wanted to setup a server which provides weave service. I found this and know from different sources of the web that this indeed works: [URL] It is a stripped down Weave server intended for personal use. All in all, it does not sound to complicated. The developer says
Quote:
You ll need a relatively recent php with sqlite, mbstring and json support, and apache, preferably running ssl. Give it a shot and let me know how it worked for you in the comments. I have Fedora 14. Only problem is that Fedora does not provide a php-sqlite package. For this I found a repo [URL] So I installed php-sqlite (as well as php-pdo, php-cli and php common) with
Code:
yum --enablerepo=remi intstall php-sqlite
In consequense all php releted stuff was replayed by remi provided packages. In addition I installed json to get JSON support. The author describes the setup quite easy as follow:
Quote:
SERVER SETUP
Add the following line to your apache config:
Alias /weave /<path to this folder>/index.php
Restart your apache server. Point your browser at h[URL]. Enter "blah" for the username and garbage for the pwd. Auth will fail, but it will create the db (you can cancel the subsequent request for auth). You should now see a file called weave_db in the directory.
You can create and delete users by running the create_user script.
CLIENT SETUP
in about.config, set extensions.weave.serverURL to [URL] You can run it under http, but this is insecure and not recommended.If I disable or set SELinux to permissive mode I can point my browser to [URL] Here starts the trouble. After attemping to login no weave_db is created. I tried even 777 permission in that directory. I can run the create_user script with php and add a user, but the database does not seem to be recognized, I am unable to login into weave service.
