Red Hat :: RHEL 6 Wont Perform A Minimal Install

Dec 29, 2010

I for some reason now have attempted to install RHEL 6 x86_64 from the DVD .iso and keep getting useless packages I don't want and or need like:

- Postfix
- SQLite
- MySQL-libs

I was wondering what is causing something 'Postfix' to be installed? I'm trying to get this server up and running with a specific set of packages installed but I can't understand the RHEL dependencies. Since this server will be managed on a DoD network and our Postfix server is authorized but on our accredited DMZ network. This server isn't authorized to have Postfix installed. I know I can remove it manually but this leaves a trail of users and orphaned packages.

Ubuntu Installation :: Perform A Minimal Install To A USB Attached Hard Drive?

Dec 28, 2010

I'm trying to figure out how to perform a minimal install to a USB attached hard drive. A full install works just fine, when I start the install from the LiveCD desktop, all the USB drives are visible and can be installed to. In the minimal install, the requisite kernel modules for USB storage don't seem to be loaded, therefore, my USB hard drive is not visible and cannot be mounted, partitioned, or installed to.

The reason behind this is I'm trying to build an XBMC install on a USB hard drive and want only the minimum backend OS that's necessary as some of the Ubuntu desktop software causes issues with some of the XBMC software. I've posted on the XBMC boards about this, but my questions have gone completely unanswered,

Security :: RHEL 6 - Minimal Install Image To Be Used As Generic Node

May 3, 2011

I'm playing around with the RHEL 6 install so as to create a minimal install image to be used as a generic node for a cloud. I posted this in the security section as reducing the number of services etc seems like a security activity, i.e. reducing the running processes to minimize the attack surface.

Anyways, looking through linux from scratch etc, and the NSA hardening list I'm a bit overwhelmed. Anyone have hints on any good documentation saying what is really needed for a basic system with network/ip/arp/eb rules? The RHEL 6 minimal basic puts in a c/c++ compiler along with other things. that seems unnecessary to me for a basic minimal install.

Ubuntu Servers :: Create A New Server Package And Leave Minimal Minimal?

Feb 17, 2010

After 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:

OpenSUSE Install :: Perform A Remote Upgrade From 10.1?

My client has a server on SL-10.1, that needs to be upgraded to 11.3. I have done upgrades before (from 11.0), but I need to know if I can upgrade from such an old version as well. I tried to add the 11.3 repo, but it refused to accept it. Is this already a sign that upgrading won't work?

Ubuntu :: Minimal 10.10 Install - Can't Install The ATi Video Card Drivers

Oct 15, 2010

I just installed a minimal version of Ubuntu 10.10 (with Openbox) over 10.04. Mainly everything's ok, but I have three problems:

1. When shutting down or rebooting, my speakers make a loud pop. Upon googling around, I found this topic on the Arch forums. Running

Code:

Before rebooting/shutting down works. I, however, would like to have this permanently fixed so I don't have to run these commands every time before rebooting/shutting down.

2. I can't install the ATi video card drivers. I downloaded the correct driver (10.9) from the ATi website and made sure I had the packages found here installed. I also made it executable by running

Code:

When I run the installer, using

Code:

I get this output:

Code:

3. When booting, I get a message saying something like "intel_ips can't find i915 symbols, so graphics turbo is disabled". When googling for this, I see this is a kernel related issue. Since I don't have any understandings of kernels, I thought this is a little too high up for me. What does it mean and how can I fix it, as it slows my boot down quite a bit?

Debian :: Minimal (no GUI) Install Then KDE

Oct 13, 2010

I am running Debian testing with KDE via KVM.

I love GNOME to pieces but I also enjoy KDE, and I decided to try Debian with KDE. It was a positive experience but a pain in the rear to set up. I installed KDE, and then had to manually remove most GTK packages, as I had installed KDE-full and was overloaded with KDE and GNOME apps.

I would like to do a minimal, CLI-only installation of Debian testing and then install KDE. My machine accesses internet via wireless, which I read the Debian installer does not support. I'm assuming I will have to go with a netinstall...?

Furthermore, once I attain this CLI-only environment, how difficult will it be to get my hands on KDE? A simple apt-get install kde-full ?

CentOS 5 :: Getting Down To A Minimal Install?

Apr 12, 2010

I 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).

Debian Configuration :: Minimal Install Of 8.3

Mar 16, 2016

Recently I tried to install Debian 8.3 from *netinst.iso as a VM on VmWare Worksation 12. I try this in my office where there is a windows proxy set, for some security measures. During the installation in order to download updated and install additional packages I need to choose a mirror and then a proxy. I try to set the proxy but all I receive was an error. Decide to continue with the minimal installation and when the system start just to enter the proxy in etc/profile the reboot and I was thinking that everything will work just fine and I will be able to install everything I need. When I try apt-get install I receive a message Ign cdrom:// Debian ... Then to remove that error I edit /etc/apt/source.list but even then nothing happened when I try to use apt-get install. I receive and error message "Unable to locate the package.

General :: Need A Minimal Server Install

Jan 11, 2010

I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 server on a low spec spare machine ( 500MHz, 128 RAM) but fancy a change. Basically would like a non-GUI, command line only interface, running SSH, Samba and a flavor of FTP. FTP must be set up so users only have access to their home directory and not to any other system dirs. In addition I may want to incorporate anonymous ftp login at some point. Any recommendations for both FTP and minimal server software ?

Jul 12, 2011

A few days ago I tried to install Ubuntu 11.04 minimal CD 64 bit PC (amd64, x86_64), from [URL], but couldn't. The reason is that none of the Ubuntu mirrors were accepted. I don't know if the problem is that the laptop isn't 64-bit, I'll list the specs, or what and I don't want to burned another disk without advice on what to do.

The laptop's specs are:

Debian Installation :: Minimal GUI Install With Web Browser

Nov 1, 2014

I 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, 2010

I 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.

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?

Ubuntu Installation :: 9.10 Minimal Install On Netbook

Feb 19, 2010

I'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.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Minimal Install Bluetooth Not Working?

Aug 13, 2010

I have a minimal lucid install to run XBMC with only xinit x11-xserver-utils installed no GUI. I'm trying to get my Logitech Dinovo Edge working via bluetooth. I've install bluez-utils and can do an hcitool dev and see my bluetooth dongle, and I if I use hcitool scan, and press the connect button on my keyboard, the keyboard shows up with it mac address. It won't connect at this point though, so I have to issue a sudo hidd --connec00:11:22:AA:BB:CC and get it to connect.Unfortunately, if I reboot or turn off the keyboard, it doesn't work again without SSHing in and redoing the steps above. Does anyone have an idea to get my keyboard working at startup?

Ubuntu :: Starting X Automatically In A Minimal Install?

Aug 24, 2010

I'm moving a homebrew arcade cabinet I have in my sitting room over from Gentoo to Ubuntu. Gentoo's served me well for a couple of years, but it refuses to recognise a touchscreen I recently installed on the cab, so I thought I'd give Ubuntu a try.

There is very little space on the SATA DOM inside the board in the cab, so I try and put as little OS on there as possible. To that end, I installed the minimal iso, and then apt-got X. I manually configured xorg.conf to make both monitors attached to the cab work, and I can enter X fine from the command line.

But what I need to do is have X start on powerup and automatically run my game. In Gentoo this is as simple as putting "xinit [GAME]" into /etc/init.d/local.start (the equivalent of rc.local). No login required, the prompt didn't even come up until I'd exited the game.

However, if I try and do this in Ubuntu, X can't find any devices, even though rc.local is at position 99. I've tried putting the lines in rc.local as well as manually update-rc.d-ing my own files, but no luck. X refuses to start until after the login.

So what seem to need is some way of automatically logging in as root on the command line, starting X, then running my game.

Ubuntu Installation :: Possible To Do Minimal Install With 3G Modem?

Jan 13, 2011

I 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.

Is there a way to do this? Any instructions? I found something about doing an install on USB but nothing about a minimal install (only full).

Ubuntu :: Setup Updates On Minimal Install Iso?

Jul 16, 2011

So I downloaded the ubuntu 10.10 minimal install iso cd because I wanted to make an install with only the things that I needed instead of the ubuntu's full cd iso that comes with a bunch of things I don't need or use.I have set everything up right, and everything is working fine. But I would like for my programs to get updated. When I check the update manager, there are no updates there, the only thing that shows is an available upgrade to 11.04( which I don't want to upgrade to) . I would like to know, How can I set up this minimal install to get updates regular like the Full ubuntu distributions? and have all my programs updated, and also be warned when there are new updates for my machine? as it is on a normal ubuntu install. Is this possible to do??
