Description Herbert Poetzl 2012-04-03 02:36:14 CEST 
Description of problem:
When installing Mageia (2beta2) and slecting 'Custom' as desktop profile, you can uncheck all Package Groups which unlocks a second menu titled 'Type of Install' with the following options:

* With X
* Install suggested packages
* With basic documentation (recommended!)
* Truly minimal install (especially no urpmi)

selecting 'Truly minimal install' leads to a system with 540MB in size and, most importantly 'urpmi' installed.

So either the dependancies should be reduced or the option updated, as it will contain urpmi and the warning is misleading. 

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. select 'Custom' then unchecking all 'Package Groups'
2. select 'Truly minimal install' and finish installation
3. login and type urpmi

ok thanks, I guess it's that:

* requested urpmi suggested by basesystem-2-6.mga2.x86_64

Humm, suggests should have been ignored...
Comment 5 Thierry Vignaud 2012-04-05 15:07:22 CEST 
In fact, we fist initialize urpm then select basesystem & default packages (according to HW) in install::any::setPackages()

Then we offer to choose desktop or groups if custom is choosen.
In the later case, we offer to select the no suggests parameter for the minimal install, as added by Pascal.
However it only applies for packages selected after.

We would need to select basesystem later, but that's quite a big change for now, so this has to be postponed after mga2 release

Summary: basesystem suggest urpmi (make truly minimal install installs urpmi) => the no_suggests option only applies after selecting basesystem (thus minimal install has urpmi b/c basesystem suggest urpmi)

Comment 6 Herbert Poetzl 2012-04-05 17:46:58 CEST 
maybe for now just remove the 'especially no urpmi' part and make a note somewhere (bugtracker?) that it isn't truly minimal?
