How "minimal" is that then?

Yeah, the SuSE people obvioulsy don't need chroots without KDE :)

OpenSuSE 10.1 (I have no enterprise license) has it, you can select
someting lebelled "minmal" in the dirinstall GUI,  but the resulting
image is 580 MB! :(
I had only failures, troubles and wasted time trying to shrink that.

Fedora minmal chroot is very straightforward with yum...
