Something I would like to see in the "base" pattern is tools to install new software and with that I don't only mean rpm but a way to use a network source for installation and update perhaps zypper?

You can always add other packages if needed for installation. So, if there's agreement that lvm is not part of the bare base, you would have to add it manually...

Hi Andreas, Well, LVM would be the wrong example. It should not be a black-or-white situation: Very early on, a hardware detection should be done. And, for instance, only if tv-harware is found, only then the yast modules for confifuring tv should be installed. If you want to configure your basic system with lvm, you'll need lvm right away, but only in that case! I have a feeling that the dependency (for yast-modules) is too rigid: you get it, wether you need (or want) it or not. Refining the threads? The "minimal" system for 10.1 had a "rather large foot print" to put it mildly, and got worse on 10.2. If (and only if) i decide to install any resource-pig, disk-space and mem will be claimed. Not for: "perhaps they want it perhaps later on or so." If I want or need it, i'll selected & install it. I know, that systems tend to grow larger and larger (tnx to M$), but please, try to have a minimal system realy minimal.
