But missing iproute2 would be really unfortunate, I believe even the minimal pattern should install it.
People seem to have all kind of definitions of what "minimal" should be.
IMHO, the contents of the minimal pattern should be debated. I consider it useless, like shooting on your own foot, so many crucial things are missing.
Or, have a "minimal" pattern, then a "text based (simple or not) server" pattern :-)
"server" is as undefined as "minimal" I'm afraid, so "minimal server" is the worst of all options ;(
Well, the real minimal is application dependent :) zypper -R /fluff in --no-r app But that's unusable for real machines. Definitely included in a "usable minimal" pattern is that set of packages which is needed to boot the system, and to download more packages. No doubt: bootloader, kernel, shell, zypper, but not aaa_base-extras. The debatable things. For example: install from CD, install from wired network (+iproute2), install from wireless network (+crda and whatnot), install to iSCSI (+iscsi*). This wants to be weighted and ordered, and then someone defines a cutoff, which may be before wired, after wired, or after wireless support. But I guess you will find an overwhelming audience to support cutoff somewhere after iproute2, and somewhere before iscsi. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
