Patterned installs

Hi to all, Thank you for the help with the previous request - I have come quite a way since then. I'd like to know if it's possible to use the existing patterned installations provided in the distribution. Eg SUSE LINUX Desktop has an 'Enterprise Template' and 'GNOME Desktop' pattern. I'd like to use these as the basis for my software selection and make some minor modifications. Any insight would be appreciated. Jesse
