vim-base indeed isn't enough as it doesn't contain the vim binary o_O. The "vim" would be needed.
No way should vim be in a "minimal" install. If you have to have an editor (there's already sed in SUSE Studio JeOS), then why not consider e3, which crams Wordstar-like or Emacs or Pico or vi or Nedit editor modes into : ladm@fir:~> ls -l /usr/bin/e3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13283 Feb 18 21:42 /usr/bin/e3 ladm@fir:~> echo /usr/bin/e3* /usr/bin/e3 /usr/bin/e3em /usr/bin/e3ne /usr/bin/e3pi /usr/bin/e3vi /usr/bin/e3ws Things like NTP also seem redundant if say the minimal install is in a virtual machine. The SuSE Studio "JeOS" seems to be a working minimalist install, perhaps their pattern can help, though even there, there were a few items I could get rid of. Unfortunately may be polkit pulls in GNOME-ish dependencies. The argument for a Minimal Install came about because 10.3, 11.0 & 11.1, had very bloated default installs, which required effort to get rid of, making it unsuitable as VM guest, or a basis for lean mean appliance, or security conscious server deployment, where EVERY package adds to security update maintenance problems. Those who want "comfort" can easily run scripts to add bloat. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
