[SOLVED] CentOS-7 "Minimal Desktop" installation GNOME
Posted: 2014/07/12 05:35:30
Hi,
I've tried a few installations with CentOS-7, but when I try
a.) Server with GUI
b.) GNOME Desktop
there are a lot of packages, (~1.200) will be installed.
What I'm missing, is a installation like "Minimal Desktop" as in CentOS-6 for
a minimal server installation with GUI .
Things like "weather, libreoffice" and so on, are totaly oversize for my needs.
Is there a trick to get a similar installation like "Minimal Desktop" in CentOS-7 too?
Thank you for any reply
Thomas.

you can do following steps:
1. Install CentOS-7 - Minimal (First entry point in list)
2. yum groupinstall "X Window System"
3. yum install gnome-classic-session gnome-terminal nautilus-open-terminal control-center liberation-mono-fonts
4. unlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target
5. ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
6. reboot
Now you have a CentOS-7 Minimal Desktop installation LIKE CentOS-6 Minimal Desktop
Enjoy!
