Clean Up the Pidora Kickstart File

Clean Up the Pidora Kickstart File

Project Description

The kickstart file allows Pidora to be installed with the pre-setup configuration, unattended. The goal of this project is to prevent the unnecessary packages from being installed, which contributes the small storage maximization. Also, by configuring SELinux in the kickstart file, it will boost up the booting speed of Pidora that is not as powerful as the regular computer is.

Goals by Release

Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:

• 0.1 - Identify all the packages listed in the recent version of a kickstart file and remove unnecessary packages from the kickstart file. Create a dependent sub-file containing the packages and link it with the kickstart file.

• 0.2 - Keep removing unnecessary packages on the kickstart file.
• 0.3 - Fix some critical bugs when necessary and re-package it.
