I just took a look at /etc/zypp/zypp.conf .... ## ## Whether required packages are installed ONLY ## So recommended packages, language packages and packages which depend ## on hardware (modalias) will not be regarded. ## ## Valid values: boolean ## Default value: false ## # solver.onlyRequires = false ... And i think the approach to delete later some packages is more secure. I do not want to miss some important packages during installation. BTW: In case of later SW installation - Is there a environment variable that has the same function as the "solver.onlyRequires = true" in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf ? Currently i use "zypper in --no-recommends ... $ListOfSoftware" but in case of ayast installation using xml files i would have to change the /etc/zypp/zypp.conf which i would try to prevent.
