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!
Yes, I agree. That's where we should go. But for that you first need to define the absolute base.
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.
So, let's work together to get it smaller again - I'm down right now to 400 MB. Still far too much but now it gets more tricky...
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 agree that should be the philosophy behind the minimal system.
I know, that systems tend to grow larger and larger (tnx to M$), but please, try to have a minimal system realy minimal.
Please help me with it ;-) Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
