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.
Because I don't WANT IT. I DON'T NEED IT. It is a security RISK and I'm tight on hard drive space.
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 skipped 10 because of the dan reports and because of Novell, and you can NOT fit all this onto a 2 gig drive, which is just mind numbing. Every package is the kitchen sink and the only stable version of SuSE now is the one that has everything under the sun loaded.
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).
Emacs isn't on there.
