Is it possible to list all the packages we want in the install rather than use one of the pre-selected package groups? I will check for dependencies, but I want to trim down the install we are doing (on a linux cluster node). Thanks.
Like this?
<software> <base>Minimal+X11</base> <packages config:type="list"> <package>bindutil</package> <package>bonnie</package> ... </packages> </software>
I think the question is whether it's possible to skip the <base>Minimal</base> part, and explicitly state every package that you want installed. Short answer, I don't think so...and you're just going to end up with the entire Minimal set anyway. There might be a couple of packages that aren't necessary, but almost everything in that set is necessary if you're going to end up with a bootable install.
