* Smaller systems - what can be done?
Goal: A system with 128 MB of space.
Challenges are especially: * Languages and localization * documentation - > some packages have documentation split up already * theming -> some packages will be split up so that only one theme is in a package.
Are you talking about 128MB of *disk* space or *RAM* space? Please make and keep this distinction clear!
Disk space.
What is the intended/envisaged use of such an installation / system?
Do you think a small system which has only 128MB of software storage space (hard disk, flash card, ...) has >=256MB of RAM to run SUSE version-any on?
Sure, thin clients do. This requirement is not being pulled out of thin air. Also linux on a usb stick type installations.
Are you thinking people might install on a big computer, then transplant 128MB of storage space into something small? Do gnome, KDE, or languages in this situation have any relevance whatsoever?
No, not thinking this.
Why put effort into saving (say) 200MB of disk space when the smallest disk on the market is 40-80GB?
