I am trying to set up a small gateway/firewall on an old 486 with a small HD on it. So i tried to use the "minimal" instalation from 6.4. Can anyone explain why X and KDE has to be installed??? It gets WAY over the 120 mb hd i have.. I tried the DMZ version too, same problem... And removing packages prior to setup makes all kinds of dependencies fail...
Why cant SuSE make a minimalistic setup and keep it minimal????
It's a PITA, but you can. Choose no type of install, and manually select and deselect all the packages. You can get it down to 120 but it will be tough. 300M is more like it. You might want to try a "advertised as tiny" distribution. Just ignore the failed dependencies, unless you can't boot. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
