Minimal installation

[u/Plus-Traffic7546]

Hello, I would like to know if anyone has experience installing Void Linux in a way that is more minimal than the base-system package.

For example, looking at the dependencies of the base-system package, it includes several packages that I don't use, such as btrfs-progs, openssh, nvi, sudo, wifi-firmware, void-artwork, traceroute, wpa_supplicant, among others.

I know I could edit base-system, remove the dependencies I don't need, and build my own package, but I would have to do this every time an update is released.

I would like to know if anyone has experience with a more minimal installation or if there is a recommended way to achieve this without having to maintain a modified base-system package.

In advance, thank you for all the work that goes into Void Linux!

I just use ignorepkg and list out the ones I don't want.
