openSUSE 11.2 system I am using the autoyast feature in Yast to make a description of a system that I want to use when installing other systems. I have a question: In the source system, I am using a newer KDE (4.5.5) than on the installation media. If I have the required repos in place in the autoyast.xml file, should the install get the needed RPMs from those repos instead of the DVD I am installing from? I ask because I would not think the network is even up at the time the packages are installed. This is probably true for other packages that are on the reference system: they come from repos other than the install DVD. Is there a good description of how to deal with this when installing from a DVD, and using an autoyast.xml file? An alternative I am also exploring is using kiwi to make an install DVD that contains all the needed packages. I think they would be obtained by kiwi when the install dvd image is made. If I understand the kiwi docs correctly. I have only used kiwi to make diskless openSUSE images that boot over PXE (which is another kettle of fish). All productive suggestions are welcome. Anyone been there and done that?
