So it’s time to take some hours to test our future version.
Today I start a fresh M7/Factory install : booting from pxe. The test case is build quickly a minimal server text mode.
Just uncheck the auto configuration, we are after all linux admin. Choose your partition keyboard, language (en recommanded for server) etc … normal.
Just before starting the install check software : click on installation resume . You will discover that base-system-pattern would like to install a kernel-desktop, wtf why we want a server !
So there’s a new ticket about that : https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=613216
I express the fact that it would be nice to have a new pattern selected when we choose minimal install server text mode.
And you what about your opinion about pre-selection or having a base-system-server pattern … Please comment, & vote on bugzilla
A pattern guru wanted to build a patch for that.
Both comments and pings are currently closed.
I would like to Vote for base-system-server pattern. Installing the desktop version of kernel for minimal server installation seems to be a time consuming and may also impact to bigger package to be installed.
I would like to see the return of the profile manager scpm in openSUSE. It is one of the main reasons why I am using openSUSE on my notebooks. I visit 4 locations regularly and scpm is my best friend.
Yes, I am also very disappointed by the disappearance of scpm. This was a very important tool for me to switch for example firewall settings, use a profile for external use without printer, or a profile to switch on a local webserver. I hope it will come back!
