Hi, We are using snv_62, after the initial install we are removing packages that we really do not need. Initially I removed all Gnome then thought what will happen if I remove all application category...
I have found 2 discrepancies that I feel are bugs...unless my understanding is wrong... Both of these issues stemming from the fact that I would have thought that packages that belong to the system category shouldn't be dependent on application category packages. The first one is SUNWhal (hardware abstraction) is a system category which is dependent on SUNWdbus-root which is application category.. The other is SUNWzone* which is system and is dependent on SUNWluzone (Live upgrade) which is application.. There is also packages that are in the system category which really shouldn't be there eg GIMP. Personally I would have liked system (all core system level tools/utilities), xserver (X server), and application (everything else). Then if I want a headless server I just install the system packages. If I want headless but need X for say image generation software, or I can also install xserver but I don't get Gnome and CDE they should be application packages and be installed as needed... Is there an reasoning behind this? Thanks, Jason.
