Hi Mike,

 I'm unsure if the AutoYaST code forces 'base' on you or not, but you 
might try *no* patterns and lay out your minimal system rpms in a series 
of 'packages'.   Needless to say, you'll need to be careful and wise on 
your selections and make sure you supply enough to end up with a 
bootable/working system.

Best Regards,

Lee
