As Robert wrote, I think we should first define what kind of "minimal package sets" we want/need.
And I made a proposal for that one.
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...
"very small with network" is the one that I personally like to have as "Minimal Base Pattern":
Definition Base System: Purpose: Minimal booting system running on real hardware Multiuser system with: * Local login (via /etc/passwd) * network setup via ethernet * default filesystems used (ext3) directly (without evms, lvm, mdraid etc) * no services running by default * YaST modules for 2nd part of installation
I consider networking essential - or do you have real use cases where networking is not needed at all?

Andreas, This is my perfect solution as well, it would be great in a Network were the users are disruptive to the "status quo", you know kids will find a way to hack the local install so the need to image quickly is high and a small install would be quick.
