Actually installing the first server package like cups or something else leads to an package conflict. Bevore we can start our invis-setup we had to remove "patterns-openSUSE-minimal_base-conflicts".
A pattern that we prefer must be text based, but not minimal. Therefore i agree with Carlos.
We find the "minimal_base" pattern (or one of its pattern dependencies) pulls in too much. For our (AutoYAST-installed) servers, we only install the patterns "base" and "yast2_install_wf" and remove lots of packages like cantarell-fonts, checkmedia, crda, cups-libs, desktop-translations, ghostscript-*, gsettings-*, hicolor-icon-theme, …, yp*, … that are totally unneeded on servers.
All that stuff certainly isn't part of the minimal text-only pattern.
My bad, the list was for 12.3. If you don't believe some of them, I can do a test install of 12.3.
On 13.1 (did a test install just now), of the packages listed above only checkmedia and crda are still there. However, in a minimal 13.1 install, there are also fontconfig, nfs-client (YMMV), nfsidmap, nscd, ntfs-3g, wallpaper-branding-openSUSE, wireless-regdb, wireless-tools, wol
I wish package selection were more dynamic. Install wireless tools only when hardware was detected, install multipath-tools only when multipath devices were configured during installation (or iSCSI or FCoE). Of course complexity to implement it may outweigh space savings.
Which for a server install probably isn't overly critical anyway. Speaking for myself, it's not about space, it's about unnecessary clutter. I just dislike installing loads of stuff I know I will never need. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
