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. 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. The real surprise, though, was that ifconfig netstat and who knows what else weren't installed! Um, what did I miss? A GUI installer like this should be simple enough even for a dummy like me to manage to get 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?
