I think this has to do with the fact that we didn’t modify installer to reflect this. Do you think we should ship more languages or it’s fine as it is (+ language selection screen in that case)? > Calling it minimal doesn't quite seem right.

The list is contained here: https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/6bb1bbacebdf2ae843ff749275ab6d9d45a81ad3/components/meta-packages/install-types/includes/minimal <https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/6bb1bbacebdf2ae843ff749275ab6d9d45a81ad3/components/meta-packages/install-types/includes/minimal> I suppose the most of those packages where dragged in via dependencies. For packages: - runtime/python-26 it is used by pkg/illumos-gate and unless pkg in OmniOS is updated (we spoke to Dan about it already, but is busy with LX, so we can’t drop the package. Some illumos-gate consumers also need python 2.6) - runtime/python-27 is provided for the userland and it also used explicitly by the userland. We tried to minize the amount of packages depending on python-26, but the packages coming of out illumos-gate are the main consumers, so there isn’t really another right now. system/man was not omitted on purpose, I added it to the file list now. > > We'd like to hear your opinion, which images are necessary for next snapshot > (supposedly, 2016.10).

We don’t consider it to be a replacement for text as of this moment. It’s just a much stripped down versions of text installer and in the future, text installer might be deprecated. However, this hasn’t been decided yet. Cheers, Adam
