[opensuse] yast install to directory on openSUSE 11.2 and 11.3
I am trying to see how the yast "Install to directory" feature works. I am curious why all software packages seem to be a dependency. (Shown in Yast as a check with three dots under it.) For example, GIMP is selected. As it seems to be a dependency, I cannot deselect it from installation. In fact, if I check the Installation Summary tab, all packages are like this. OpenOffice? ImageMagick? I am interested in this so I can install various versions of the OS for use in a local chrooted build environment that should create compiled binaries for various openSUSE releases. I did this a while back for making Gentoo software on openSUSE and it worked great. Seems easier than qemu and all for my purposes. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

Well that is mistery to me as well, with yast2-dirinstall it seems I cannot change the package selection at all. Even if I want to use a autoyast profile with the packages it does not accept it. I found a bugzilla entry ( sorry didn't bookmark it therefore can't reference the bugzilla id) against yast2-dirinstall which was for another issue. Nevertheless for 11.3 yast2-dirinstall 2.19 was the recommended solution, as an update to the package was not planned. Still yast2-dirinstall has not worked for me :( I ended up using zypper -R for that purpose

Have you considered lxc HTH Togan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

As in lxc mentioned below?

Looks interesting. I will investigate. It does seem similar to what I want to try. Unfortunately, I want to set this up on an 11.0 system. And I see the kernel support started with 11.2. Maybe I will update the host to 11.3. I was hoping to avoid that as there are some services that are working great now (e.g. Trac) and I don't really want to change them. I will also need to install a 10.3 openSUSE as a client. I guess I can do this against a DVD as well as a network host. Thanks for the tip. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

true and since it is native in kernel one needs not to to recompile the kernel :)

Some background info regarding LXC http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/10/20/matryoshka/ And a youtube installation video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S2_SaK9Bg0 and if you have a susetudio access here is the link for a 11.3 appliance which you can play with. http://susegallery.com/a/4dMNWp/matryoshka It is Alpha ( actually pre-alpha) stage but works for me.
