But YAST-1 lets you pick what to install on a package-by-package basis -
if there is something you don't want - don't install it.

All that's different with Mandrake is a different set of defaults for
which packages you get - it's a matter of luck whether the distribution
guys had similar interests to yours or not.

That's what I have - it's about 30% full after a "Nearly Everything"
YAST-2 install.
