Hi Mike, I'm unsure if the AutoYaST code forces 'base' on you or not, but you might try *no* patterns and lay out your minimal system rpms in a series of 'packages'. Needless to say, you'll need to be careful and wise on your selections and make sure you supply enough to end up with a bootable/working system. Best Regards, Lee Mike Brady wrote:

I am looking to use Autoyast to build a minimal system, but am not sure what the correct approach is.
My point of reference is a Kickstart with a %packages --nobase, which for Centos 4 x86_64 gives me an 88 package system.
So far I have a working autyast install with
<software> <patterns config:type="list"> <pattern>base</pattern> </patterns> <packages config:type="list"> <package>yum</package> </packages> </software>
which gives me a 396 package system.
Only 300 odd package to get rid of :-)
What is the right approach here. Do I have to figure out my own list of packages (i.e. don't use patterns) or is there some option that I haven't found yet.
Looking back through the list archives there is a suggestion that the underlying yast tools are going to pull in what is defined in base pattern no matter what! Is that correct?
I feel that I am missing something here.
Thanks
Mike
