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 (YMMV), xdm, xterm (the latter two pulled in by yast2_install_wf, which we don't install anymore on 13.1), xauth, xbitmaps, xrdb, some unnecessary perl packages and various libs (libXaw7, libXdmcp6, libXineramas3, libXmu6, libXpm4). Most of these are arguably fine for the default openSUSE use case of the desktop user, but strange for a text-only installation and unneeded for servers. -- Kind regards Christopher 'm4z' Holm / 686f6c6d "We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart." --H.
