This could also solve our problem installing openSUSE on computers with little memory because one could prepare a swap partition before running the installation and Linuxrc (installation) offers the possibility to enable swap partition by appending a parameter to command-line.

This could also solve our problem installing openSUSE on computers with little memory because one could prepare a swap partition before running the installation and Linuxrc (installation) offers the possibility to enable swap partition by appending a parameter to command-line. The LiveCD should be able to do this - but that one needs to much memory for these systems. Something to look at for the future...

They haven't been needed in many years. If you decide to make a /boot anyway and make it only 15M, it's your own fault. ;) That's not completely true, they are needed with older hardware. I doubt that. My oldest hardware is 97/98 and it doesn't need it. Those boxes (of mine) have 64MB RAM max, SUSE doesn't even install on that any more since 10.0(?). Question: how many systems out there which have 128MB RAM need a separate /boot partition? The problem is not RAM, but the bios. The bios services are used at first by lilo/boot to read the initial files, and older/buggy bioses simply can not access HD beyond a certain point. My machine, circa 2001, has some problems with big disks. The problem started with 10.2. All the time, from 9 until 10.1, you could use 15M, and two kernels would easily fit in that partition.. That way i could boot the kernel i wanted, to test it with the hardware.. (The early 10. and 10.1 kernels failed to start-up the powermanager, which resulted in a constantly noisy rotating fan.) Now, in 10.2, these sizes are changed, that is the reason that now only one-and-a-half kernel fits in 15M, now there is only 38% free, to be correct. 5.9M free, from 15.4M, and symsets and symtypes are added.. We have: initrd:3M, vmlinuz:1,5M vmlinux.gz:2M. Ofcourse grub resides in /boot. It is not allways *nessesary* to have a seperate /boot partition, but works more *clean* in fact, i am only one cilinder short. (i am only saying that it would be nice to be able to finetune a nice os as SuSE is, without taking too much time and risk, that is all...)

Re: [opensuse-factory] discussion about re-naming library packages such as slang to libslang
Some clarifications: The current policy is that the RPM package names should be identical to the basename of the upstream tarball unless there is a technical reason why it cannot be named this way. Examples of technical reasons include: - Multiple versions of a package are shipped, in this case only the name of one version can match the upstream tarball, all other versions get a shortened form of the version number squeezed into the package name. - The upstream release name contains illegal characters. I'm _strongly_ against renaming existing packages for reasons other than a technical problem which requires the package to be renamed. This should read: Discussing new rules is of course interesting and fine, but if a new naming policy is agreed on as a result of this, it should be applied to new packages only. Existing packages should not be renamed unless they either change their meaning or there are packaging changes which force changing the name. The technical problems with renamed packages are: - The package manager somehow has to know that the new package replaces the old package. This is usually solved via Provides/Obsoletes, but it pollutes the namespace: An obsoleted package name can effectively never be re-introduced again, and even the slightest mistake in this area can have very interesting results. - YaST contains hardcoded package lists in several places which don't work with Provides, but only with the real package names, so renamed packages can only be handled by changing the code and nobody can guarantee that all occurances of obsolete packages are found and cought in time. - 3rd party developers use the existing package names to express dependencies (Requires/BuildRequires), changes in this area result in very ugly %if/%else blocks that make the spec files harder to read and maintain. These cannot be fixed as easily as the ones in the distribution. If the 3rd party developer doesn't notice the change, the package gets broken. Note that I do think your proposal has advantages, but in order to be really useful, it would require major packaging changes. As an example, how would you handle a package that contains both shared libraries and executables? Debian-derived distributions have a policy to split all such packages so that the executables are in a package named like the upstream release and a library package that gets a lib prefix and a suffix based on the interface version of the shared library. This is an advantage because it means you can have an arbitrary number of different library versions installed, but requires much more packaging work. You would have to update the BuildRequires of all packages all the time, and you would have to manually keep the package name in sync with the interface version with each upgrade. It's painful, I predict it won't work and for a centrally developed distribution it's not really necessary. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
