I heard from several sides that the base system of openSUSE 10.2 is a bit large - and agree and would like to discuss with you what we can do.
I thought about the following: * make the existing base system pattern really minimal * add another conveninience pattern that has all the extra stuff we currently have in the base system - and require this for all other patterns.
For a really minimal base system we have to define what we need first.
Here's a proposal for a "Definition Base System": Multiuser system with: * Local login (via /etc/passwd) * network setup via ethernet * default filesystems used (ext3) directly (without evms, lvm, mdraid etc) * no services running by default
My questions for discussion are especially the following:
A good idea, I think it would be enough to have a login and a !!small!! yast for installing more packages. In my opinion it is not neccessary to have a working network for a really small system. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
