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

Can a similar information be displayed by the user interface of the installation system?
Does any special package attribute make it possible to distinguish the applied installation source afterwards so that inappropriate actions for such time stamps can be eventually avoided?
Since the "bug" is now documented, I'd like to propose to discuss the rest on the yast devel list (or create a new bug, etc.). -- 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.
