Also I was thinking what some one can do if I give him a machine which has all the packages installed. Dont we need some good case studies/example configurations which should be part of the project. <br><br> <br>-Jai<br><br>

Okay... starting with a base image of CentOS 5 (which, I believe,<br>includes MySQL 5.0.? Don't recall which version... perhaps someone can<br>fill in there), what are the initial things that would need to be<br>installed for base-level dependencies (things not already on the machine
<br>and ready to go).<br><br>Then, we should start a list of what needs to be installed based on the<br>order in which it should be installed (for the post-processing script)<br>for the basic required stuff.<br><br>Also, for any optional packages that will be installed, we'll need a
<br>list of dependencies.<br><br>I think that's a logical next step assuming the CentOS machine has been<br>installed (which is NOT an assumption we should overlook, as we'll need<br>to determine what portions of the CentOS base machine SHOULD and should
<br>NOT be installed (i.e. do we really need print services, games, and an X<br>environment in our base install, etc, etc)).<br><br>SO.... three steps really.<br><br>1) Determine what needs to be on the basic CentOS 5 install for
<br>everything to work properly (including iptables and such since we should<br>assume security is an important factor).<br>2) Determine what's left that needs to be installed that doesn't come<br>with the distro for any base dependencies.
<br>3) Determine the order in which the apps need to be installed (for the<br>post-proc. script).<br><br><br><br>I'm just throwing out ideas here. Feel free to tell me I'm going about<br>this the wrong way.<br><br>
