Is there a best way ? I use the following approach: Having - a suse installation repository build form the origianl DVD . - - Additional a mirror for Updates and/or other repositories ( like Packman ) - a self build YUM repository for self created rpms. The base system itself is build from the original suse dvd images with autoyast. After the initial installation a script runs to: - add/remove additional repos - add/remove/update software packages - Do additional configuration to the system Thus the basic system is easily installed with autoyast. I will have no problem during the base installation with self repositories and other stuff. The configuration script can easily be extended to support further customization like nfs mounts and other stuff.
