note that having a couple x11 package is not installing x11.
I've made the minimal install quite a lot smaller.

We still have issues with suggests that makes installation explodes.
I've reports some bugs but maintainers just don't care.
See eg: <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4357">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4357</A> that got
reaffected to me because the maintainer doesn't care about
bloating the install
This particular one isn't about minimal install but about gnome install
but the underlying issue will bloats any minimal install + light desktop
+ _one_ gtk+ application.

&gt;<i> thing is, without a full kickstart (which i don't want to, i'd like to keep
</I>&gt;<i> doing partitioning manually, but kickstart seems not to do the interactive
</I>&gt;<i> requests), i can't really make a minimal system to begin with...
</I>
you can still do a semi automatic install.
