[opensuse] stripping down opensuse, when does it break compatibility

Hi All, I was trying to get openSuse installed on my friends fighteningly old computer. While doing it, I thought it might be good to build him a custom install with autoyast with A LOT of stuff taken out. He will do e-mail, some chat and thats it. Nothing else at all. At what point do you break compatibility with openSuse, what is the base thing that must be installed for someone to say "this is openSuse and I can patch it and that good stuff" Also, is this type of thing true for all linux systems or openSuse only? As always, thanks for any help or advice. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
