Hmm. I change cmd line to:
urpmi -v --replacefiles --ignoresize --urpmi-root ${ROOT}
basesystem-minimal openssh-server ntpd grub vim man rsyslog systemd
systemd-sysvinit

But basesystem-minimal depends of polkit-gnome, pinentry-gtk2 why? this
is server... Or i need many stuff from X to run software under server?
