Hello

I found the following article:
http://wiki.openvz.org/Creating_a_CentOS_5.0_Template

I would like to create a new OS Template base on RHEL es 4.6

I am using dedicated server and from this server I am taking a snap shot of the Operating System.

And according to this article the following need to be excluded:

.bash_history
lost+found
/dev/*
/mnt/*
/tmp/*
/proc/*
/sys/*
/usr/src/*

I would like to know if there is any additional file or directory which need to be excluded while making the tar file ?

What about the network configuration prior making the tar file ?
