I’ve downloaded the OpenSUSE 12.3 network (minimal, CLI [command line interface, for the benefit of other new users]) installation image.
I would like to
And that’s it. No games, no office suite, no redundant utilities.
What are the steps to installing the KDE Plasma desktop environment in 12.3 minimal (CLI)?
Is it possible to at least control what is installed along with it?
I don’t get what you mean. Command line interface and yet KDE, which is a desktop environment. Especially this
command line interface, for the benefit of other new users
makes me wonder.
An office-suite is not part of a default KDE install, openSUSE comes with LibreOffice, which is not part of KDE.
The installer at a certain moment arrives at a screen where a summary of chosen options is given (if automatic configuration is unchecked in a previous stage). You can then modify the software selection to be installed.
Another option is to use SUSE Studio, and create your own Live install medium, i.e. with a modified KDE install (no game packages etc.)
EDIT: I notice yours is your first post. Welcome !!
