Hey TRG
      
      Make clean text install check only basic server nothing more, when
      you are asked to chose repos check all but debug.
      After installation completes and the system reboots it self log in
      and edit
      
      1. /etc/zypp/zypp.conf  and add the line
      solver.onlyRequires = true 
or in in 
/etc/zypp/zypper.conf change
      the value from installRecommends = yes to installRecommends = no
Choose one or the other  
      save file and reboot
      
      2. Finally you can   do it via zypper switch zypper in
      --no-recommends package. <---  if you want a alighter system
      points 1,2,3 are recomended
      
      
      3. install minimal xorg / with yast -->pattens Very basic
      Desktop  exclude everything but patterns-base-x11
      reboot
      
      sudo chmod 4755 /usr/bin/Xorg  <--- this is crucial without
      this you will see a message that xorg seuid or uid or something is
      wrong and you should use reconfigure -- something command as root
      In the and giving that command takes you no where
      https://chmodcommand.com/chmod-4755/ <-- if you are curious
      what works
      reboot
      
      zypper install xinit xdm fluxbox NetworkManager NetworkManager-applet 
without those two you are fucked if you relay on wifi and you use fluxbox or some box WM
       create ~/.xinitrc edit this via vim or whatever cli text editor
      exec startfluxbox
      
      then save
      
      Xdm is required for startx to work, without it xinit will shutdown
      with errors, complaining about .Xauthority and .serverauth not
      present in /home/user dir.
      Crazy but true. Yes i could create them manually but it was 02:15
      in the morning after  3 days of fighting with this running a dozen
      WM's I just don't give a duck.
      
      
      By unchecking a few +a packages you can shrink installed packages
      to around 390 and it can be shrinked furthermore. Default patterns
      are bloat as hell.
      That being said this system was not design to be slim but to be
      solid and effortless during install
      Ok we can restart the system
      login and use startx
      It will fail at first but on second try  it wil work and start
      your fluxbox
      ram consumption 411 to 426 MB on clean vanilla fluxbox.
I will try to trim it further if I fail my sad basement will become even sadder.
      
      it is not perfect but this is a working solution, later i will
      work on graphical DM login probably by changing systemd target to
      graphical by
      sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target
      /etc/systemd/system/default.target I will investigate this
      further.
      If you install Open suse with any preconfigured DE you will get
      graphical target in
      
      cat /etc/systemd/system/default.target | grep "Description="
      
      so that maybe a case.
      
      Oh without your link
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/488125-Start-X-server-and-KDE-automaticly
      it would took me a weak or two to resolve this not 2-3 days , so
      thank you mate.
      
      I really considering to starting use suse, maybe do a switch from
      debian / debian'ish family systems.
      Suse tumbleweed advantages
      
      1.Yast2 hands down only thing that can somewhat compare with yast
      is aptitude. Yet yast interface is way more intuitive to use, and
      its way better designed then aptitude.
      2. rolling
      3.solid
      4.Simple
5. Funfuckingnastic system 
      
      disadventages
      
      1.Patterns are bloated as fuck. Debian low level tools are better
      if you want create small system from the start
