Well, since yast asks for the root password in 2nd stage a system without yast would be somewhat useless as you couldn't even log in after installation.
Thats why I wrote: "deinstall after installation". So we can walk trough the complete second stage of installation and afterwards we've perhaps no YaST at all. So perhaps we need: - smaller dependencies between the YaST modules - a new "YaST2-installation" which contains all relevant parts (impossible imho) - a new step for deinstallation unneeded modules/rpms after installation is finished New items for AJs list: - Look for packages with more than x MB (lets start with 10MB) size and see if we can downsize them by repackaging. - Let the "base" pattern become very small and minimalistic. I agree with Klaus that we perhaps need something like a bash - but if you say that, there will probably be someone saying "I need that f****ing 20MB editor named vi - or this is no minimal system to live with". So why not put only stuff like kernel, glibc and ... in the base pattern a system can not start with. Extend these base pattern with additional patterns like "System administration (YaST)", usefull system tools (vi, joe, ifconfig, ...). => This should result in a very small base pattern (target 1) => We can discuss about the additional (system) patterns for the base system in seperate threats.
