[opensuse] 15.1 Net-Installer -- Killer Look, without "Recommends" is stall a challenge
All, Just working through the 15.1 install. Installer graphic are great (Ok, I don't comment on installer graphics usually, but give credit where credit is due), but a minimal X install will take a whopping 7G+ of storage?? Wow. Unchecking the "Install Recommended" in the menu dramatically cuts it down to a manageable size, but picking through the details to pick out what is wanted is a bit tedious. But... kudos to the Yast folks, the detail view for package selection is orders of magnitude faster than in past releases. No sitting an waiting for yast to finish parsing the packages under a pattern anymore. Installer was quite confused with the 16G drive size in the VM. Noting even enough for snapshots with Btrfs. (ext4 to the rescue -- and without "Recommends", snapper isn't installed on top of the ext4 selection :) Will keep you posted as it goes, but no issues thus far (other than no fluxbox in OSS :( icewm will have to do, though Windowmaker is available ) -- David C.

a minimal X install will take a whopping 7G+ of storage?? That can't be right. I usually deselect "Install Recommended" and custom install to later add KDE3 or TDE. Latest I did with recommendeds, after adding TDE, is only using 4.3G. The one before that, a minimal without recommendeds, and with TDE later added, is only using 2.0G. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.

I also pull in full development packages C/C++/Fortran/Java, Kernel Source and Maria DB. Something also pulled in Texlive which itself is the better part of a Gig... (sorry Felix -- you get 2-copies, forgot to change address :) I also pulled in FF and Tbird which pulled in a boat-load of dependencies. -- David C.

Well, then it is no longer the minimal install. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
