Well an additional exercise may be letting some yast2-modules stay away from 'base'. if i recall correctly DNS-Server or DHCP-Server module are on base. that's something that should belong to the respecing server-pattern. for the editor-discussion: i personally expect a vi to be on every system that has a unix-like shell. Even the small embedded linux boxes have vi (as a busybox module) I don't care if it is the quite large 'vim' or any other vi - but if it is too large for base, that's not a problem. vi is a simple 'yast -i vim' away. i'm very happy with a small-as-possible base install (not default, but base) as it makes SuSe easier to install on flash :) nano is foolproof, very lean and easy to use for anybody. and for the simple tasks like editing some /etc/sysconfig it is enough. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
