don't worry. A new selection system is on the way

nice work! but i see some package with same function stilll exists! i.e: - gnome or kde (fvwm2 is not popular), please choose only 1, we can not serve 2 master - mail server: postfix or devecot - office app only 1 nominator, open office - etc.
and "pattern" with "must-have" and "should-have" must me put in the first cd while "may-have" put as additional/extra cd. i believe the dev of opensuse will increase very quick. Linux is not Windows, it is not like Windows, God forbid it should ever become like Windows.. Linux is all about choice, and if you strip out Gnome in favour of KDE only, you eliminate a great number of applications that many people prefer to use -- and vice versa.
No one is forcing you to use one desktop over another, one mail server over another, one office suite over another, one browser or email client over another -- if you do not like the selections that are suggested to you, simply uncheck those during installation, and select others. It is all about choice, not forcing someone to use someone else's notion of the "ideal". The sooner you get your Windows mentality behind you, the better off you will be using Linux. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
