Please think of datacenters with thousands of virtual machines where the virtual harddisks are placed on a storage.
Sorry, based on my experience with customers running mid-size data centers I don't buy this cost argument. And really large data centers (Google, Facebook etc.)
Obviously, Google is not the target here (something smaller is).
If I look at JeOS, I can see we even do not have the standard kernel installed but only the kernel-default-base just to save some MB.
But IIRC this was done because of initrd size.
Not really; something like Xen DomUs are in all practical scenarios not going to have hardware for all the drivers there are. That's where -base comes in handy. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
