Currently Im using autoyast to setup a local build server. Ive managed
to include add-on repositories and specify the OBS_BuildServer pattern
in the Yast2 autoinstallation module.  During the autoinstall process
however, a dialog complains that the OBS_BuildServer pattern is not
available. I suspect that this happens because the network device is
not configured until stage2 and the installer is not able to find the
pattern from the add-on repository during stage 1.

Ive been able to overcome this problem by not using patterns and
instead using the <post-packages> element and hand selecting the
packages that would normally be part of the pattern. Hence Im able to
work-around the fact that the pattern is unavailabe in stage 1, but it
would be nice to have the possibility to specify a post-pattern.
Clearly there is a use case for <post-pattern> selection, but maybe
not very compelling.

Alternatively, it would be nice  to configure the network device
during the initial installation (as is possible in the interactive
graphical installation of opensuse 10.3) then one wouldn't have to
specify <post-packages>. Hence a use case exists for bringing up the
network device early in stage1.

How would I go about implementing these enhancements?
