We use the same for step 1, but our machines also get all the other repos via autoyast (as opposed to Hajos #2), and install all their packages during installation. This extends the duration of the installation to about one hour (instead of like 15 minutes), but that is acceptable in our case. That way, we also have a more fine-grained control of the per-repo-gpg-settings (one could also say it takes a moment to grasp the differences between all those gpg settings autoyast offers; but for our scenario, everything is better than just turning gpg checks off as in #3. And to be fair: As long as you are not using fancy (read: broken), half-signed-half-not repositories, setting them up via autoyast should be trivial). I posted our config here (sorry, the formatting is gone, but the repo stuff is short): http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-autoinstall/2010-03/msg00010.html For 11.2, you could also put nonessential packages into post-packages/post-patterns (Uwe briefly described them here: http://ugansert.blogspot.com/2008/08/post-patterns-in-autoyast.html), but we failed at our first attempt to do that for 11.1 and haven't tried it for 11.2 yet. But this would only speed up the time until the first reboot, but not the overall installation time (in other words, the system will not be ready-to-use faster). tty, 686f6c6d -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
