An alternative would be a single DVD image, "burned" into a usb stick, but in a manner that we could add somehow extra rpms that we like to the same stick, downloaded locally from the repos, and somehow modify the installation image so that it finds and use them. Perhaps via "add local repo".
This method would not add any extra load on the mirrors.
Great idea!
Thanks :-) It can be improved. For instance, instead of manually generating a list of packages, it could take the list of packages currently installed in your system, and download them for the version corresponding to the dvd, each package from the correct repo and vendor. Say, this thing from oss, this from packman, this from kde-extra, this from nvidia... create a tree of directories that constitute repos to be added during install, plus a pattern or something that you can tell the installer to add, so that it add the corresponding list of files to the default choices. And put all that into the install usb stick with the dvd image. Something like that. If that could be expanded into a yast module that facilitates updates on machines without internet, that would be really wonderful. I must be dreaming O:-) For the moment, though, we have to just remove some packages, and then design the future with more time. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
