Here is another question, can you download only part of SuSE? Like just the sections you want or do you have to download the whole thing? With RedHat and Mandrake you have to download all of it, or the install will crash. I was just wondering what happens to YaST if it can't find a "package" it needs, or is there a way to rework a database or something to allow for smaller installs.
Yes, u can download the part of the packages, likewise, u really don't have to download the whole /suse/zq1 The yast is based on the files under /suse/setup/descr common.pkd common.ser and the language u choose, for instance, english.pkd and english.ser. the *.sel files are for the package selection. so, for minimum installation, u need to dl the /suse/a1 /suse/a2 /suse/images and /suse/setup that's all. But, unless u edit the files in /suse/setup/descr, the yast still shows that u have the full SuSE rpms on your hd or ftp. That really doesn't matter , all u have to beware of that not to select the packages which u didn't even download. Well, it won't "CRASH" though, just a warning appear. jsc
