This is not a new problem, but I've never seen it mentioned. Typically
I test install to real partitions 4800MiB in size. This limited space
is adequate for what I do with a test installation, but requires I
carefully choose what gets installed or not. Devel, "server",
multimedia, games, office apps and Java I always exclude for space
reasons. I don't use them often enough to be able to recognize if
anything was wrong with them. Even though I select custom instead of
KDE or Gnome, and on next screen deselect everything that won't cause
urpmi not to install, several things are preselected that make no
sense for a minimal install, such as every (4 total?) X DE. When I try
to deselect any of several of these preselections, it acts like an
initial selection of a large task instead of a deselection. It takes a
second try to actually deselect. In several cases, the attempt to
deselect results in a select that requires more space than is
"available". Before I can deselect in those cases, I must find smaller
selections to deselect and free up space before it will let me select
what I'm actually trying to deselect. Then I must go back to those
indirectly forced deselections to reselect them. When done, I
typically find about 60% or so of the 4800MiB actually gets used by
the time I've configured no-suggests and urpmi'd what I needed but
couldn't select during installation without pulling in the space
wasters. Ultimate goal is usually no frills KDE, with none of file
manager, IM, PIM/Kmail or desktop search. I do 99.97% of my email POP
in SeaMonkey, but not in test installations. All my searching and most
text file editing is done using MC.
NAICT, it's impossible to install to include urpmi and exclude 100% of
X and its deps.
Is that cauldron ?

There wouldn't be any point if M2, would there? :-)
because there was some improvement since mga2
I haven't noticed any.
