So what people actually mean when they say "minimal package set" is actually either a "what-_I_-want-at-least-on-my-system package set" or a "what-is-needed-for-a-specific-job pattern set". In the first case you will never reach consesus by obvious reasons. In the second case you don't need _the_ "minimal package set" but you need _a_ "minimal package set" for a specific job.
So if this discussion should become constructive you should discuss about a minimal pattern that should be installed when installing a new system or a pattern that should be installed for doing this or that but not mix up everything and call this undefined thing "minimal pattern set".
That's pretty much was I was about to post on the topic. I think the discussion is not going anywhere because everyone has a different understanding of "minimal package set". As Robert wrote, I think we should first define what kind of "minimal package sets" we want/need. - From the discussion up to this point, there were already a few interesting proposals: - - chroot (that's probably the most minimalistic, not even RPM in there) - - very small without network (if that's of any use at all) - - very small with network etc... cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <pascal.bleser@skynet.be> <guru@unixtech.be> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQFFr+9zr3NMWliFcXcRAt3FAJd59zad/ydA/rJdnWtYh0XVyFZ8AJ9hFq8b 5ae5zMlQo5dR4gbUHOkOLw== =r560 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
