[opensuse-project] Server-cd
I was wondering if maybe we should aim to have a server-1-cd for 10.3++ as a sort of replacement for the cd1 of the dropped 5-cd set. If someone wants a server installation without X for 10.3 they either have to get a full DVD or get a 1-cd and mess around with the patterns to remove KDE, X etc. and get more or less all server packages online - or do a slow and troublesome ftp/http-install. I'm thinking a dedicated server-cd would be a much nicer solution. "Sacrificing" openSUSE on the server can't be good for SLES either - and maybe an openSUSE server-cd could be a kind of response to MS Winblows Home Server also. What do you think? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

are really the 5 cd dropped? I know many people without dvd reader and laptops (so no hope of having one) anyway a one cd server would be very nice, specially if all X dependecies are cut off jdd -- http://www.dodin.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

Yes, they are and already since some Alpha. But internet repositories are easily accessible to get all the data.

I hope that the build service will allow soon to over self made images so that you could master such a CD yourself and distribute it, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform/openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
