Thank you that is a thought, I was hoping that there was a install flag that tells the installer to keep the rpm when installing. Much like redcarpet has for not clearing the cache. -----Original Message----- From: Lenz, Fabian [mailto:Fabian.Lenz@telekom.de] Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 6:44 AM To: todd.ness@eds.com; suse-autoinstall@suse.com Subject: AW: [suse-autoinstall] Saving packages...

April 2004 14:33 An: suse-autoinstall@suse.com Betreff: [suse-autoinstall] Saving packages... Is there a way to save the rpms that are being installed during autoinstall to the local disk? For example: If I save every rpm I install and I save a special initrd and autoinst.xml saved on the machine I could have a re-install option on the boot menu that a user could re-image his machine if he broke it too badly and could not get remote support.
