playing with fedora these few days.

yum is great with it's delta package system. which only download changed file instead of the whole package.

one thing i dont like is that yum do not know what dependencies have been installed and should be removed.

debian aptitude works out of the box.
and we can add --auto-orphans to mandriva urpme


some people suggest 'package-cleanup --leaves' to list leaf node (package that no other package depends on).

i try that, and it list libvirt which is needed by virt-manager. so i cant fully trust that.

more googling i found yum plugin remove with leaves package.

su -c 'yum install yum-plugin-remove-with-leaves'
yum remove --remove-leaves package-tobe-removed

still need to test this

by request of users and FameWolf that tiredlessly gives positive feedbacks, here i present the making of my opensuse lxde livecd.

well... actually i dont see much to show...
anyway, here goes...

1. Create new appliance...
2. Choose ´Minimal X´
3. gives it cool name.
4. add repos. the only one required is lxde repo.
5. add packages. (see screenshot)
   
6. tune configurations
7. paste this into scripts

chkconfig --add boot.compcache
chkconfig boot.compcache on

yast2 sysconfig set DEFAULT_WM="startlxde"
yast2 sysconfig set DEFAULT_GUI="GTK"
yast2 sysconfig set DISPLAYMANAGER="slim"
yast2 sysconfig set DEFAULT_WM="startlxde"

echo 'default_user  polaris' >> /etc/slim.conf
#echo 'auto_login    yes' >> /etc/slim.conf
echo 'sessions startlxde,icewm' >> /etc/slim.conf
echo 'exec startlxde' >> /home/polaris/.xinitrc

usermod -G audio,video,floppy,cdrom,disk,dialout,modem,games,lp,pmount polaris

echo 'text/x-suse-ymu;/sbin/OneClickInstallUI' >> /etc/mailcap
echo 'text/x-suse-ymp;/sbin/OneClickInstallUI' >> /etc/mailcap

the scripts used to works on ´Run script at the end of the build´ section. now it wont works. so i duplicate it to first boot section.

that´s all it!

you can make your own distro or just download the ready to boot opensuse lxde livecd.
