Hello,

What packages do you select or deselect when install CentOS?

Thank you.

Depends on the purpose of installing Centos. What are you planning to do on your CentOS server?

With initial install from cd I deselect everything but Base. That way I do not waste time installing stuff from the cd that is just going to have to be updated anyway.

After the install I use yum to install everything I need.

We always deselect everything on the 'linux text' installation.
After installation we install manually the things we need.
