How much needs to go into minimal? I bet we can find users that claim the current pattern is still too large.
Yep. That's why calling it a "server" pattern is a good thing.
Well, then the name should still have "minimal" on it. Something like "Text Server (minimal) pattern".
Why? The current pattern gives you a functional setup which you are likely to use on a server; thanks to sshd being there you can even use it on a remote box and 'keep on configuring what you need'. Adding 'minimal' to the name only opens the door for flames that it's 'too big' and 'this and that should not be in'
For a text only machine I would install almost everything, except X and X apps. YaST would be installed, Alpine, text web browsers, text mode tools, mc, all man pages, gpm, etc.
YOU would - I would not... the patterns neither cater for you or me,
Sorry, confusion here. In that paragraph I'm not referring to the existing server or minimal text pattern. I'm referring to a non-existing full text pattern. And no, I'm not suggesting to create it. I'm only trying to explain what I understand by "text pattern", and why the existing pattern is, IMHO, "minimal". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
