The first CD standard-kde is a customized KDE install on top of minimal (not equivalent to the SUSE kde install option, since that would result in a too large install for 1 CD). I used apt to create it on a test system and it contains quite a bit. I was thinking of adding openoffice, but that will then kill the rest of the space on the iso quickly and you would end up with a purely English install. I rather thought another option is to include the kde international files and make sure things are as much as possible multi lingual and have openoffice as a downloadable option, since it is huge and would disable such a multilingual install anyhow.
OK. Undersandable. It would be nice if they would use it as a basis for openSUSE and SUSE so people can (if they want) just use 1 CD.
The standard-minimal is a shell only install based on the SUSE install option Minimal + apt.
I personaly do not like apt, but it is a nice idea. I asume that will be not included to the openSUSE or SUSE possibilaties, because you would get too many KD versions. The same goes for the Gnome one, unless you could do it in such a way that for openSUSE cd1 is KDE, cd2 is Gnome and 3-5 are all the other things. That way you could download 1 or 2 or all 5.
I have not looked if the different conections are possible, but if they are not, it would be nice to do this. The reason is that sometimes people are unable to use the boot.iso, because the needed drivers are not installed. They then still have to download all CD's first and are unable to do a network instalation.
I do not exactly get what you are saying here ... what connections?
rp-pppoe for people who not have an ADSL modem with it's own PPPoE. USB drivers fro some ADSL modems. vwdial for those who need dialup. ISDN for those who have ISDN. So what I was saying is Internet-connections for those who are not connected over a network card. I also noticed then when I go to the pacages, I get the message it needs to install fontconfig. Not a real problem, but it might confuse others. -- houghi http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs
