CentOS 6 Minimal
I’ve come to enjoy using CentOS 6 as installed from the minimal CD. Â Once it is installed, all you get is a login prompt and a root user. Â I take the following steps to set up a personal account:
useradd administrator passwd administrator usermod -G wheel administrator visudo # uncomment line allowing wheel to use sudo vi /etc/pam.d/su # uncomment line requiring wheel to su to root vi /etc/aliases # alter line redirecting root's mail
Then I install a very minimal desktop. These instructions assume you’re root, if not, you’ll need to sudo them.
yum groupinstall "Desktop" "Desktop Platform" "X Window System" "Fonts" vi /etc/inittab # boot into runlevel 5 instead of runlevel 3
When you’re done, don’t forget to yum upgrade.
