Here is my try to build a "base" pattern. For me this is aimed for a
base computer that I can choose to build as a server or a workstation
that only have the tools and functions the machine need. Like bastion
dns, web, database server or a small and working graphical
workstation. So this is not for a embeded environment. For an emebeded
environment alot more work should be needed. Like replacing glibc with
uclibc, dietlibc or something small like that. And the embeded systems
I have all have arm cpu's so a little work is needed there as well.

This list is based on aj's list he sent out earlier with some comments.

Please add some comments or input what you think about this. I would
love to see zypper added to this as well but that's me. (Then rpm
could be removed as zypper depends on it)

Not sure how the kernel-default is installed during the installation
if it's done with rpm more packages could be removed like mkinitrd.

Warm Regards,
Claes Backstrom
