Thus, I'd expect those times are actually from creating the image and not from actuall installation. You can uncheck "Installation from Images" during the initial workflow if you do not want this, but traditional rpm install for each package. The problem could be, if the packages you are referring to are not from initial installation, but installed later.

Not in help texts. I'm not sure about documentation - Karl?
"Installation from Images" is documented in the Reference Guide (1.12.9, in SVN). To avoid confusion it would probably help to add a warning about the time stamp of packages that are installed during image deployment. If you think that's needed, please reopen this bug and make it a documentation enhancement. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

How do you think about a bit fine-tuning for this wording?
- images, the timestamps of all packages originating from the images, does + images, the time stamps of all packages originating from the images do
