hi all,
I want to make a minimal install of ubuntu .
i've tried using Ubuntu minimal install and Ubuntu server install.
what i found is ubuntu server is far more slim than minimal ubuntu.
installation process:
-- ubuntu minimal installed in vmware server where it downloads everything what it requires after a base system install. size: 849MB (didn't ask for packages)
--ubuntu server installed in vmware where it gives manual package selection option, but never ask for any package. i guess i'm supposed to install other packages after the system has been setup. size: 470MB
Target:
i want to wind up required package within a limit of 400mb.
this is going to be a NAS server.
it seems ubuntu server is an option to go with.
Plz help me to shrink this OS further.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
