Hello everyone, before I start doing some testing myself I wanted to ask the list if anyone has experience with image-based AutoYast installations? I see that openSUSE12.3 DVD brings some prebuilt images for Base,X11,KDE and so. See here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory/images/repo/open... I have the following questions about image installation: 1) How would I include the prebuilt images from above? 2) What happens If I only need (let's say) about 90% of the packages installed in an image? Will the remaining 10% be uninstalled or stay? 3) What happens if updates are available for the packages contained in an image? Will YaST install updates additionally then? 4) If there is a YES to 3), does it make sense to use images in the long run? Usually, many components receive updates during a release lifetime, such that the benefit of image installation goes down over time, right? There is a problem with the TexLive installation being extremely slow in OS12.3 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=801874), so I thought about creating an image for texlive to speed this up! Thanks for any help on the topic. I have not found good material in the AutoYast docs about this... - J Brauchle
