Bug 613216

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 SUSE/3.6.3-1.2 Firefox/3.6.3

When you choose minimal install it was noted (Server Text-Mode)
The default patttern or software selection pre-select wrongly the desktop-kernel in place of default kernel ( for x64 or -pae for 32 installations)

Junior Admin or new comers to opensuse will be catch be see.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start an install ( Net or Dvd)
2.Uncheck auto-configuration 
3.Choose minimal install
Actual Results:  
kernel-desktop is selected as dependancy with base-install pattern


Expected Results:  
kernel-default choose if server mode and 64bits
kernel-pae chosse if server mode and 32bits

So Adding a base-server-pattern which is activated if minimal server install is choose is the best way to accomplish that, with a very minimal ressource.

Sorry I'm not suffisant guru with pattern to propose directly the patch.

Making a wrong kernel pre-selection can be very time consuming on server installation.
Especially if newbies admin launch auto-update, install some special modules, etc 
They have to rebuild all what they've done kernel related. Also benchmarking (marketing test, or journalism preview) would be wrong in case of testing server.

This give opensuse a bad image on using it as server, compared to other distributions and concurrent.

If pre-selection is sometimes a good way to help end-user in term of choices, they should never be conter-productive to buisness.
