Question List of stuff on Suse 10.0 Eval CDs 4 & 5


Hi,
I'm currently downloading the 10.0 eval CDs. I'm not interested in the CDs containing the source codes, hence I don't want to download those.
I have finished CDs 1,2 and 3. What do CD4 and CD5 contain? Can I skip those?

Thanks.

You cannot skip any.

The base package selection for SuSE uses at least 1 single file on all 5 CDs. Don't ask, It wasn't my descision. Assuming you did your selections right, you MIGHT be able to skip 1 or 2... which as I recall needed only like 6 files, and another need just 1. However, this is HIGHLY unlikely. They did not divide them nicely into source, KDE, gnome, devel, or any other sensical listing that I can tell. HOwever, if you take the base selection and remove many packages, you might be able to get down to using only 3 or 4 CDs... but I haven't really bothered since a proper install(for my purposes) takes at least a few hundred files off each CD.

If you really want suse in a single CD installation, you probably want to look into SLICK. That contains most of the KDE isntallation and a good chunk of software, all on a single disk.
