Hi, even if the package management on openSUSE 10.3 is faster it still showed its issues during the last days to me :-( Please note that installing a Linux workstation worked fine for me but what I wanted to do is ".
So it should only contain what's really necessary for a Xen DomU and can be extended easily to be a web-/mail-/or whatever server. So I tried to install into a directory to create a package list with the software installer. Summary: it seems to be impossible 1. my local system is de_DE and therefore the de_DE pattern extensions are always added (what's not wanted in that case). The QT software manager has no option to change that, while it seems that the ncurses one provides a pattern selector for locales. 2. my local system has an nvidia gfx card (and it has the nvidia repository added) so the software manager always chooses the nvidia drivers. The same for all other kernel modules or packages which provide these magic hw keys. 3. never start a selection with too many patterns enabled since you will never get rid of them w/o creating looping dependencies 4. there are more strange conflicts which came up all the time. For example trying to remove dirmngr only brings up conflicts for packages dirmngr "requires", while those are still being marked for installation. Sorry, that I can't easily create distinct bugreports for those but can only tell my experiences with all that. So basically what I wanted to achieve is: "creating a minimal (but usable) Xen image" So if anyone was successful with that I'm interested how it was done in the end.
