Tartışma:MiniSUSE
Here you can give ideas and opinions what to include on main page of MiniSUSE project.
For discussion about project itself, visit MiniSUSE Project Discussion page.
The discussion below took place before function of separate Project Discussion page was clearly defined. It was my mistake too name it only MiniSUSE Discussion, what Pflodo corrected in, for me, unexpected way, pointing out confusion produced with missing word Project. To prevent further missunderstandings I'll leave to him decision to move it back, or not. --Rajko M
MiniSUSE has a moving target. It is defined by hardware properties and today is minimal, tomorrow will be micro and then disappears from horizon. Any plan must be possible to execute in short term, to be a viable, it must be a mini, like original idea to convince Installer to work with lesser memory.

It is a mistake to see this project as only applicable to old machines. If successful, I can see that miniSUSE would be a great starting point for creating other special installations. Want to build a SUSE based MythTV, start with miniSUSE and add only packages required for MythTV and drivers. This might still be running on the latest CPU and huge amounts of memory.

Right.
Let we take one step at the time. Let we make Installer run on any 586 hardware. If successful that will open the door for more users to join. Than we can start next step, making small usefull text system, with more users able to use (test) miscellaneous installations, give comments, report problems, etc. Jdd repeated a lot of times that for many users 586 is still the only choice. Give them a chance to show what they can and all will benefit from that.

I think there should be a minimum memory requirement. I have 10 systems with 8-32 MB memory. I do not think it is reasonable to install a version of SUSE Linux on them. There are other version os linux best suited for them. I thin a minimul requirement of 64 MB is a good lower lime. I have many more of these systems. I use them to test many different things, I would like a version of SUSE with Live DVD that is installable. All these systems have CDROM's or DVDROM's
