[Bug 223892] New: one base 1 CD plus cached downloaded packages
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223892 Summary: one base 1 CD plus cached downloaded packages Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bluedzins@wp.pl QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Please, provide 1 CD real minimum install, just bare system able to download the rest of the system. I see no technical difference downloading all the stuff as ISO vs. downloading all the stuff as rpms. Of course it would be useful with ability to cache all the downloaded&installed rpms, so the user could easily make&burn Extras ISO for her/himself. This way, when installing on the sencod computer, or reinstalling, she/he could simply install the base system + Extras. Current policy is an overkill -- 1, 2...5 CD + addons, 1 DVD, what next? 2 DVDs? Or just 1 BlueRay? Download/Install-on-demand _plus_ cache&burn all the "extras" is much more efficient and flexible (not mentioning network usage). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

For the one CD, use the Mini-ISO. Everything is there you need to plug it properly together ;-). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I was thinking about something really simple, yet elegant -- setting cache dir for yast and option "do not delete after install". Also yast could do more sophisticated things -- managing this cache, so when I upgrade some package, the old version would be deleted (option). This would be very useful as a crash recovery, or another install. I really doubt webproxy has those features because, well, it is just a proxy (besides, does not proxy caches all data? if yes it would double effort to make it yast-only cache). Btw. maybe I am wrong, but yast already caches downloads, but currently in some hidden directories (another reason why just-proxy is not good, now the data would be tripled), so partially it is already done. Minimum step more is to make it available for the user in decent way. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
