And I made a proposal for that one.

"very small with network" is the one that I personally like to have as
"Minimal Base Pattern":
Definition Base System:
Purpose: Minimal booting system running on real hardware
Multiuser system with:
* Local login (via /etc/passwd)
* network setup via ethernet
* default filesystems used (ext3) directly (without evms, lvm,
mdraid etc)
* no services running by default
* YaST modules for 2nd part of installation
I consider networking essential - or do you have real use cases where
networking is not needed at all?
