I did a fresh minimal install of CentOS 5 on a test machine today and then installed Plesk. I noticed some of the packages getting installed by Plesk were fc6 packages. Here they are

Is this normal?

Yes, that's normal. RHEL/CentOS 5 is based on Fedora Core 6 and I believe they didn't even bother to rebuild a bunch of packages.

Looks like you did more than a minimal install by the way. I really wouldn't install X and Gnome on a Plesk server. (The manual also tells you to do a minimal OS install.)

I used this as my ks.cfg to install. It is a modified ks of Scott's ks for CentOS 4 on 1and1 servers that I have modified to install CentOS 5 with the first 2 discs.

Do I need to change something with this ks file? I also see some of these gnome packages on my CentOS 4 1and1 server that I used Scott's AOOI to install with.
