Perhaps i should enter it as a requested enhancement ;-) When wanting a bare minimal system, (by selecting text-mode only) i expect a real-minimum, however.... I find a lot of packages installed, which might be very nice and helpfull, but i did not select them. they are in three catagories: a) nice be not requested: like tcpdump. This is something a often select, but it should be included into the catagorie of "power-tools for experienced users", not default. b) not wanted. If i want printing, i will select them: cups, cups-drivers, cups-libs, gutenberg, yats2-print should belong to a sub-thread.... c) waste of time/disk space hardware scan should know what kind of hardware there is. Why of why is yast2-scanner, yast2-irda, xfs-tools, dos-stuff installed???? My MOBO does not have a sound-card: so why do i get alsa? (new sound-thread) All of these packages are probaly nice for some people to have. But there are also lots of people who don't need them. Reasoning is this. Either if i select a packages manually, or it it gets installed by default, i have to claryfy its presence with an security officer. Same if its gets installed by default, i i decide to get rid of it. I rather have it not installed unless the it is really needed, Hans -- pgp-id: 926EBB12 pgp-fingerprint: BE97 1CBF FAC4 236C 4A73 F76E EDFC D032 926E BB12 Registered linux user: 75761 (http://counter.li.org) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
