[opensuse-factory] tw - yast not installed? (minimum text-only pattern)
I was playing with a new fileserver and thought I would try out tumbleweed. Yast was not installed ... :-) http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=944650 -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Yup, 'minimal' installation means 'minimal' zyppers installed though so adding the yast pattern isn't hard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It seems to have become a lot more minimal than in 13.2.

I did do that next, but then I need to pick all the yast modules etc etc. Not very useful, IMHO. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I quite like the idea of adding a more Generic 'Server' installation scenario that includes YaST and maybe other common server tool packages right out of the box But I like the fact that our Minimal installation is now much more true to the term - it's been proven to be very useful for my personal VM server where I'm using lots of small Tumbleweed VM images for various services, and because I'm using Saltstack and other DevOps/Cloudy tools I do not need YaST on there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

The pattern was called "Minimum (Server Only)" in 13.2 - removing stuff like firewall and yast (I don't know what else wasn't installed) makes it too minimum to be really useful, I think.
But I like the fact that our Minimal installation is now much more true to the term - it's been proven to be very useful for my personal VM server where I'm using lots of small Tumbleweed VM images for various services, and because I'm using Saltstack and other DevOps/Cloudy tools I do not need YaST on there.
Possibly not the most generic usage for the minimum pattern, I dunno. Anyway, just shows that TW is not really for me :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.0°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

More likely that particular pattern install is "not really for ...". -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I've been using that pattern for years, probably ten or more. There has occasionally been debate about what the minimum server-only pattern is really for, but it's always worked very well. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.4°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
