*SOLVED* Set default software on new VE
type: item
description: Hi there, I am a brand new openvz user. I just installed openvz onto centos 4.4, and created my first VE. All looks good. I installed yum into the VE and was going to start installing various components. I noticed that there was a bunch of stuff in the install (by default) when i created the VE. Things like apache, bind, openldap, etc. Is there a way to modify which software is installed by default in a new VE? I want to keep it to a complete minimum - then install in what I need. I suspect that maybe my template is not a minimum as I "thought" it would be. I had run: $ yum install vztmpl-centos-4.i386 $ vzpkgcache So I guess to cut to the point - can I modify or minimize what is installed by default into a new VE? Thanks!! Dnk

description: Thanks for the info! This morning I had discovered this once I started poking around much deeper within the templates directory. I had jumped the gun in posting this before i had spent the time really looking around. I then saw that the system had included a "minimal" setup and I just had to adjust my command line option when I vreated a new VE. Much appreciated though!
