technically, all is feasible :-) - just a matter of willness.
Sorry, don't take this personally, but that's the dumbest statement in IT. No, technically, not everything is feasible. Compare this with engineering: what you are aiming for is pretty much like building a bridge that's 1km long but only sustained by one leg, at one end. Oh yeah, technically it's feasible, if you find a way to zero attraction physics.
and I think this is very important. I have now ~ 8Gg of SUSE Linux installed and I'm sure 75% is unusefull. this must be addressed.
That's a wrong point to start with. Do you _actually_ know, for real, how much of it is useless ? You're saying 75%, but I would say 20%. Without any real investigations and analysis on that, it's just a wrong hypothesis to start with. And analyzing that is very, very tedious and complex.
of course I won't say how, but I'm pretty sure this will need a collaboration between developpers, packagers and distribution makers.
Indeed. And let me tell you that this already almost never works for much simpler things :\
Your comments seemed very acurate, thanks
Just trying to bring some technical background into the discussion.
cheers
