Dependencies

I decided to install Kdevelop on Amelix, because I'm planning to use Amelix for developing M*nx and I've heard good things about Kdevelop. So I went into the software manager and told it to download Kdevelop, which is only a 30MB package. No problem.

Except that to install Kdevelop I need to install 550MB of other packages and libraries first. When I already have a 2.8GB install, including the full GCC compiler suite. It does this all for me automatically, but still...

I ended up having to move the whole of /opt onto my new 20GB drive, because I was almost out of space on /.

1 Any particular reason for using SUSE ? Granted Fedora is pretty bloated.

3 Pixy, do this: 1. Create a virtual disk using QEMU 2. Mount it as ide0.0 in VMware Player VMX file. 3. Mount CD as cdrom-raw 4. Put Fedora Core 4 Disk 1 in the CD drive 5. Boot VMware Player pointed at your custom VMX file 6. Install FC4 If you prefer Slackware, Debian, Ubuntu, etc. substitute your distro of choice for FC4 Disk 1. 7. Follow install instructions. 8. Lather, rinse, repeat until happy

4 I'm actually finding SUSE quite good, but I will do this, now that I have cleared off a few gig of disk space. I'll probably set up a Centos 4.2 system, since that's what munu runs.

5 I'm reasonably impressed by the openSuSE 10.0.
