Interesting. Now it is time for me to display my ignorance. Is there a
description of images somewhere? Googling "suse install from images" was
a bit too unspecific.

Using the 11.0 install as an example (normal, not autoyast), how many
images are there? One per RPM? If I choose to install from images, and I
select various RPMs other than the default, what images would be used?
