Opensuse revisited

One major reason I ventured into Puppy linux territory was because I wanted to install Linux on a partition that was about 1.5 GB. Since I could not recall seeing any major distro offering a program selection menu in the live CD prior to install, I was lost for a means to reduce the installation size to fit into that partition. Hence a small distro like Puppy was turned to.

A chance discovery in the course of reinstalling Opensuse 10.3 was that there was an option to choose packages - though this was NOT a live CD. Ofcourse, I faced the issue of reinstalling Opensuse because the PC Linux installation would not allow applications to be uninstalled (RPM database not accessible error) and Kopete also crashed. So, Opensuse 10.3 again proved a better choice.
