The point was on "base for ideas". Look MicroSUSE "To do" list, it seems to be the right thing for underpowered systems. Todays embedded system has power of yesterdays PC. So there will be a well of ideas how to shrink standard SUSE. embedded are ROM, thus no install :-) The size that I look for is more large Mini than real Micro :-)

once passed the install problem, it could be possible to find a way to install every wanted thing. Xfce is a very good candidate. but even kde works
we can sometime afford to be slow, the install problem is that it don't install at all :-( ... I really don't want to go from scratch with MicroSUSE, not for this

BTW, that is the reason I would like to call it MiniSUSE. It is SUSE and if you want install all standard software from normal repositories, with standard tools. The only change I would like to see would be to make some software available in smaller configurations, stripped of some aesthetic and seldom used functionality, to de-bloat it. The SLICK was about much more changes. You can see this in page history.
So Lets's start a MiniSUSE project. I like this name the best.
