But YaST does not offer that entry now. KDE, Gnome, Minimal text server, Other. As I recall, minimal X server was not there. :-?
configuring 'zypp.conf:
solver.onlyRequires = true', and only then zypper installing Plasma, KDE3, TDE or XFCE, not by pattern, but by specifying rpms known to be required for them to produce a working X session. I don't have any recollection of material obstacles to success with this method either in TW or releases at least as far back as 12.1 or 11.4.
So you have not tried Leap with this?
Not sure what you are asking. Best of my recollection is that what I do requires starting with "Other" and selecting whatever language there suggested bare minimum X. Online installation instruction screenshots for 42.1 and 42.2 don't seem to include what "Other" does or did contain, and I don't remember what is or was in it. My last installation almost certainly by now was over 60 days ago. I don't keep central track of how any given installation was made, only their primary DE and date of last update. To find out how any installation was made I must boot the given machine and inspect /root/inst-sys and/or zyp* logs. I have about 28 installations of 42.1 and 42.2, some made by zypper updating from previous, some by fresh installation, over half via zypper. Last fresh 42.2 was Nov. 30; last TW 4 weeks ago, assuming I didn't miss any in between and forget to copy over its y2logs. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
