+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; the difference is:

+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; i'm gonna try a minimal install and see how much this'll differ
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; ok, i was a bit wrong:
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; i have a local dracut version overridden with urpmi-proxy so as not to
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; required but suggest plymouth
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; testing with which packages would become requested with rpmsrate...
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; in a chroot, this becomes: 246 packages/299MB
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; but, with suggests, this becomes 337 packages/385MB
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; however, in an install i have 371 packages
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; but the / contains 731MB
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; so, where do all these extra packages come from?
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; these are the different packages between installing with suggests, or
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; chrooted rpmsrate expansion with suggests...

+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; for one, mageia-gfxboot-theme is here again... it didn't get selected in
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; chrooted install from manually checked rpmsrate settings... where does
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; this come from?
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; is there a part in the installer that hardcodes certain packages? clearly
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; according to the ddebug.log file, this mageia-gfxboot-theme gets selected
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; during the choosePackages step and not later on...
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; what am i missing here?
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; does anyone have an idea? i'd like to get to the bottom of this, so a
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; pointer in a direction would help me alot...
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> acpi* mageia-gfxboot-them are pulled by the installer
+</I>&gt;<i> mandi* shorewall (&amp; thus iptables*) too.
+</I>&gt;<i> I've asked previously if we want a firewall installed before summary, anne
+</I>&gt;<i> &amp; blino said it was OK
+</I>&gt;<i> microcode* is pulled b/c your CPU supports patching
+</I>&gt;<i> idem for cpufreq
+</I>&gt;<i> dhcp was selected b/c there was a network interface configured as DHCP
+</I>&gt;<i> dmraid (&amp; thus kpartx) was selected b/c you've some fake raid
+</I>&gt;<i> (...)
+</I>&gt;<i> you always got gpg-pubkey, those are fake packages containing the keys
+</I>&gt;<i> used to verify packages
+</I>
+
+thanks for the explanations, i really appreciate this, it seems logical,
+somehow, except maybe what i'm coming back to:
+
+mageia-gfxboot-theme is pulled by installer? how does that work?
+
+is this really required? or is this something that's somehow done in the
+graphic installer?
+
+i mean, i didn't select graphic grub, i chose text-grub specifically. and
+somehow during the choosePackages step, the mageia-gfxboot-theme is
+automatically selected...
+
+this is the packages that's adding via extra dep and suggests, most of the
+stuff...
+
+where can i find the code that is responsible for this, so i can try and fix it?
+
+
+
+about firewall, perhaps it's possible to just include iptables, but set policy
+on DROP incoming? shorewall seems a bit over the top...
+
+but, if summary isn't completed, you can't boot into it, wrt bootloader? so
+firewall seems useless for that...? what is the rationale behind this?
