To address the real question, SuSE installs apache because very few people do not need it and the "Why doesn't ......" emails would overwhelm the lists. For those that do not need it, a simple "rpm -e apache" and its dependants will cure that in 5 minutes.
I don't quite understand: Apache is not installed in any default package selection. You get it only when you specifically choose the webserver software selection. This must be a misunderstanding :^}
A long time ago, apache was in the default selection because the susehelp was based on it. But that's at least 2 years ago.

And that answers the original question. I've been doing updates for about 5 years and wondered why it was installed, and why its configuration didn't work right when I finally tried to use it a couple months ago. A fresh install of 9.0 and "intentionally" installing it yielded a configuration that did work properly. -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
