Hi all,

Reading the opensuse-factory's archive, I found a discussion regarding a minimal pattern, kind of small-as-possible base installation.

Is there somewhere a list of the software that are in this minimum installation (including the yast-modules, as some currently installed yast-modules probably could be removed from the base system)?

Check the Mailing List-archive or stay tuned. They are posted quite often.

I just installed Alpha4 on a virtual machine and I'm quite surprised to see that the minimum installation seems to require cd 1, 2, 3, 4. Is it something that will change? Ideally, it would be great to be able to use only one CD for a minimum installation (SuSE 9.3 used to require CD1 and CD5).

This will change as soon as the final patters are known. Until then this is the way it goes. No worries for the final :D

As far as the minimum installation is concerned, I was also wondering whether there was any reason why nfs and portmap (and even alsasound) are automatically started at boot time?

Last question: during the netwok configuration, I've been asked to install something called the "network applet manager" and, even if I disabled it, I had to put again 2 CDs.What is it used for?

Thanks all and keep up the good work.

Regards,

Gaël

This should be fixed for Alpha5, I propose to look at it next week.

Ok, thanks

Laptop installation?

no, virtual machine created on an esx server 3.0. I will delete it and try again, maybe a mistake I made Regards, Gaël
