Hi everybody,

I am currently trying to install a secure backup file server with Suse 8.1.

As I only want to install the strict MINIMUM among the packages available, I 
wonder if anyone has done the same before, i.e. selected a minimum set of 
packages which allows you to boot your box correctly and not much more.

To do this I have installed the Suse minimum installation and deselected lots 
of packages, but I am not sure whether I can still take away some more 
packages.....

"rpm -q -a | sort " gives me the attached list and y wonder if I can reduce 
further more this list.

Any help or comments are greatly appreciated

Lars
