I have a few comments to the response from Carlos 1. The network setup dialog mentioned only shows up if the network cannot be configure via DHCP. Typically, that happens, so no network settings until the summary screen - if I recall the process correctly. 2. If you set hostname or any other network settings on the Boot options line - those settings will end up in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-* This might cause later headaches when using network manager, VPN, etc. - Tomas On Wed, Oct 30, 2019, 14:54 Carlos E.

Hi again, all --
I've played with a few installs of 15.1 and am a bit confused. I'm using the network installer and in both cases have added
Main Repository Non-OSS Repository Main Repository Update Non-OSS Repository Update
and otherwise just enjoyed the defaults.
Those four repos above are the default, you don't need to add them manually.
My first pass was
Desktop with KDE
and my second was
Server
but both seem lacking. I was surprised that the installer didn't ask me in any case to set the host name; I ended up with
linux-xxxx
for some semi-random string of 4 chars, so I had to manually set the name.
Possible, I don't remember.

Section: 1.1.2.3 Network Settings
Says how you can setup Network during the initial installation. The name is one of the possibilities you can do there.
But the network installer media might be a bit different, because it has to setup the network much earlier than that step.
The real surprise, though, was that
ifconfig netstat
and who knows what else weren't installed! Um, what did I miss?
Both are intentionally removed, they are deprecated. Use different commands. You can install them by manually installing this package:
net-tools-deprecated-2.0
The name makes clear that you shouldn't.
A GUI installer like this should be simple enough even for a dummy like me to manage to get a good system build :-)
It is a good system build.
I'm going to want a KDE-based desktop with the typical userspace browser and other such, and I'll need NFS client & server services as well as of course sshd. It's eventually going to get a fixed IP but I don't care too much right now either way. I don't expect to run a web server, but the usual SA's bag of scripting languages will be useful. Are there patterns to select to make sure I have all of that, or do I have to drag my way through a zillion packages in YaST to find what I want?
I don't remember if there are patterns for that or you have to search for those packages manually, specially as the group tags has been remove d.
If you try to setup nfs in yast, for example, it will drag in the other required packages. Maybe the network server pattern.
