I am looking to use Autoyast to build a minimal system, but am not sure
what the correct approach is.

My point of reference is a Kickstart with a %packages --nobase, which
for Centos 4 x86_64 gives me an 88 package system.

So far I have a working autyast install with

<software>
<patterns config:type="list">
<pattern>base</pattern>
</patterns>
<packages config:type="list">
<package>yum</package>
</packages>
</software>

which gives me a 396 package system.

Only 300 odd package to get rid of :-)

What is the right approach here. Do I have to figure out my own list of
packages (i.e. don't use patterns) or is there some option that I
haven't found yet.

Looking back through the list archives there is a suggestion that the
underlying yast tools are going to pull in what is defined in base
pattern no matter what! Is that correct?

I feel that I am missing something here.

Thanks

Mike
