--- Comment #26 from Per Jessen
(In reply to comment #5)
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.
This isn't a "minimal" install, this is a "minimal server selection (text-only)". I.e. it's not about being tiny, but about being a fast install, suitable for servers.
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 :
vim was part of the minimal server install before, is there a reason to change that?
Things like NTP also seem redundant if say the minimal install is in a virtual machine.
But quite useful on physical servers.
The argument for a Minimal Install came about because 10.3, 11.0 & 11.1, had very bloated default installs,
I could be wrong, but I think the Minimal Server Selection has been around longer than that. -- 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.
