Probably two different "minimal" patterns would really be more useful:

Yeah, I think we could do with an another pattern for minimal size. Maybe embedded/all-on-chip systems would also benefit from this?
Like I've mentioned in my other emails in this thread I would not waste too much time about minimizing the package selection. If you really have 7000 VMs where every MB counts then you won't go 7000 times through the installation DVD anyway but maintaining a selfmade package list instead. More important is IMO to keep the next "server selection" similar to the last one to let users have less surprises. As you see opinions about a real minimal system are too different. For example I have always blacklisted *yast* PolicyKit ConsoleKit *cups* *branding* *wireless* *NetworkManager* *audio* all locales, 32bit stuff and a lot more but could not imagine a machine without git, atd, cron, postfix and sshd. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
