Re: [opensuse] 11.4 - is 'tracker' 'beagle' in disguise?

a long time ago users had to have the knowledge and abilty to define what they
wanted in a new install. Now we get about 3 gigabytes of shtuff with even the
simplest install with a functioning x engine and too much nonsense slips in
hidden from our eyes.
perhaps there is a need for a more detailed install menu?

It's detailed enough I have no problem finding strigi, apparmor, splashy, kdepim4, gtk2-immodule*, bluez, ktorrent, and other nuisances and bloatware and setting taboo on them before proceeding to the main installation step. It would be nice to have a minimal KDE install that leaves out anything not strictly necessary to reach a KDE desktop with working app launcher, minimalist panel, YaST2, KControl, Konsole and nothing else. The way it is now it seems for every other needed app selected 3-6 recommends get yanked in with it.
