CentOS Server Installation

Hey all,

Just joined the group Friday, and looking forward to the first F2F meeting.

I wanted to ask a question about a CentOS install I'm doing right now. I've
been having difficulty finding an install of CentOS 6.3 that will allow me
to install just the server applications without X11 that can be installed
from USB. I decided that instead I'd just put the live CD on USB and
install that, then strip out the bloat. Not ideal but it'll have to do.

So I'm stripping out stuff that I know isn't needing, and starting with yum
groups that I know aren't necessary. First time I did this I went over
zealous and nixed a bit to much, causing the box to not be able to boot
into run level 3 anymore. This time I'm working a little more piece by
piece.

<tldr>

I was wondering if anyone had a CentOS server install or a spare box/vm
they could put a fresh one on, so that I could get both the grouplist and
package list off of it. It won't be exactly what I end up with but it would
be a good frame of reference.

If this doesn't work I may just have to try to do a network install (I
don't have CD Drives on any of my PC's. I don't like the waste and most
things are comfortable with a usb install.)

Thanks,

Will
