I don't really care what your preferred method of getting information from cron is. I do care that you THINK that if you decouple them that you can't get mail with Cron?
What? Is that a sensible line of reasoning? Should adduser also require postfix because users might need mail?
Ruben, why are you so hung up about having an MTA installed on your desktop? It's probably one of the least superfluous packages in an openSUSE install.
All I want is a darn laptop to run wmaker, which can use its wifi, get on the net, use open office and play some video. SuSE 9.1 did this in 600megs of space with no postfix.
We've got a couple of company laptops that do this with 10.1 in about 1000Mbytes (I'm not sure), with postfix installed. I think you're wasting a lot of time and effort on a completely pointless exercise. If you want to save space, delete emacs (assuming you don't use that). /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
