How do you define unnecessary?
You can use the netinst installer which installs the minimal environment.
Yeah well its not really accurate. I mean a script which turns your debian 7 installation into one made with a minimal template. I ask because of of my hoster deleted all minimal templates because of security issues and I dont want to do this all by hand.
With KVM I do that, but I need something for OpenVZ
Install one in kvm or debootstrap, list all existing packages, compare it to a vz installation and remove all differences.
Well this is the manual way though.
apt-get remove apache2
apt-get remove samba
apt-get remove ntp
just like the software name's not that hard.
.
Yeah but its still not possible for me to get nearly to the idleing usage of a minimal template (300MB disk and 6MB rram)

Xeoncross one's work good
One thing that might help is the harden-servers package. This package conflicts with packages that provide services that might be insecure.
Do an "apt-cache depends harden-servers | less" to see what it would remove.
This typically works for me with any providers template.
Samaba?
Typo I guess, perhaps samba?
Typo indeed, corrected the original post, thanks.
Good start you got there @nunim
Minstall seem to support Debian 7

I currently using this:
apt-get -y remove --purge apache* apt-get -y remove --purge samba* apt-get -y remove --purge sendmail* apt-get -y remove --purge bind9* apt-get -y remove --purge nscd* apt-get -y remove --purge sasl* apt-get -y remove --purge exim* apt-get -y remove --purge ntp apt-get cleanRam usage is 8MB now which is great, but disk usage is about 600MB so it's more than twice as much as a debian minimal template. Can you suggest me any other packages to delete?
Bumping an old thread as it came out easily with a quick google search, to add that usually after you remove all that crap, there are many dependencies that can be removed too.
Will take care of that. It will clean a few more MB... but won't be enough to bring a clean distro on your server!
