2) Use smart and remove zmd and such.
3) People are working and testing at this very moment. You have already
been pointed to opensuse-factory. Look first here:
http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse-factory/2006-May/
Skip all the makeSUSEdvd stuff, because that is solved.

It is. There are some small discussions about that in opensuse-factory as
well. I personally think implementing *.repo is a good way. Just click it
and you are done.
It is always good to here what newbies think, because most of us are so
close and things become so obvious, that we forget how a newbie sees it.
Let yourself be heard in factory. Otherwise it is just jdd and me taking
up space. :-)
