I prefer my solution. Taboo Beagle during install. Then you don't have to worry with it. But it takes a lot of time to go through and weed out the crap from the basic install.
On a desktop, I think beagle is just about the only default package I don't install - on a server, it's different, but otherwise I can't really think of much 'crap' that is installed.
Something WOULD be nice, but since I would just remove stuff anyway, I guess I'm wishfully thinking. Or something where you can say, Hey, My machine is older and doesn't have resources to waste. Can we pare down the install to help me? I don't have a Core2 Quad and 8MB RAM. I have a P3/700 and 384MB RAM and just want to be able to do a little writing and check my email.
You could probably do with a bit more RAM - PC100 DIMMs are not really that expensive anymore. Or buy a new desktop machine - I bought two 2nd hand Dell Optiplex'es just the other day for use as office machines. 2.4GHz Celerons with 512M RAM. I added another 512M to both, and each machine was still only CHF60. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
