1) logrotate is a beautifull tool, but should be optional, just like sed, (since i'm a perl convert, i abandonned sed, awk....)
I didn't think about that one being optional but, well, you're right, if we are talking about a minimum installation let's have it really minimum, this way nobody would be jealous :-)
Are you willing to re-analyse all packages, and rewrite the spec-files? Eventhough the effort will be worthwhile, considering the concequences, do you think it feasable for 10.3?
I suppose that it would be probably difficult/dangerous to try to it for 10.3 but we could see as a work-in-progress, some kind of "hidden" option during the installation, the default being similar to the current opensuse version. But I think that it should be done (especially if you see it going from opensuse to sles: less code, less bugs, more stability, more security :-) and, well, I would love to have the minimum suse system being near the debian basic system :-) Kins regards, Gaël
