I posted a possible workaround to the suse-linux mailinglist some time
ago, maybe it helps ;-)

You can save the package list with
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name}\n" > paketliste

Copy the file "paketliste" to the target machine and install all listed
packages with
xargs yast2 -i < paketliste
(Of course, you have to setup the installation sources in YaST before.)

To optimize the operation, remove the already installed packages from
the list:
rpm -qa --queryformat '%{name}\n' | grep -Fvxf - paketliste \
| xargs yast2 -i


Disclaimer: This is completely untested!
(If you test it, please report back ;-)


Regards,

Christian Boltz
