Is there a best way ?

I use the following approach:
 Having 
 - a suse installation repository build form the origianl DVD .
 - - Additional a mirror for Updates and/or other repositories ( like Packman )
 - a self build YUM repository for self created rpms.

The base system itself is build from the original suse dvd images with 
autoyast. After the initial installation a script runs to:
 - add/remove additional repos
 - add/remove/update software packages 
 - Do additional configuration to the system 

Thus the basic system is easily installed with autoyast. I will have no problem 
during the base installation with self repositories and other stuff. 
The configuration script can easily be extended to support further 
customization like nfs mounts and other stuff.


Further information:
 * Create Yast installation Sources: 
http://en.opensuse.org/Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources 
 * Add repositories to Yast: 
http://en.opensuse.org/Add_Package_Repositories_to_YaST 
   Example:  zypper sa http://myserver/opensuse103/x86addon "Self build 
packages for OpenSuse 10.3 32bit "

 * Stage 2 client configuration with AYAST  
http://www.suse.de/~ug/tools/ayast_setup.ycp
 * Unattened execution of yast  
  Example
...
## Run Stage 2 Yast configuration for stuff forgotten/changed in the initial 
configuration
export TERM=vt100
cd /tmp
for i in ntp.xml dns.xml  ; do
        wget --no-clobber http://reposerver:${basedir}/autoinstall/classes/$i 
        screen -D -m yast /usr/share/YaST2/clients/ayast_setup.ycp  setup 
filename=/tmp/$i
done
cd -
