I am happy with the base system we have now (10.2), and do *not* want any major changes.
The present status is that we need small base that can be expanded. How to achieve this is a topic of this thread, but obviously no one wants major changes. Although I'm not familiar with distribution creation, it is obvious that just dropping some packages will bring improvement, but still it will be far from usable desktop on single CD. More radical approach as discussed above may bring new way of thinking about distribution creation and upgrades. It will make possible to install openSUSE almost everywhere and upgrade to the level that user finds acceptable. This will eliminate need to guess what user might want, and automatically reduce size of initial system. I know that dependencies that package can't run without, will bloat upgraded system anyway, but that can be addressed later when enough users feedback is collected. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
