It's no doubt my fault for not keeping up with progress here, but can anyone explain to me what happens during installation (BETA1) when YaST say 'Deploying installation images' ?
Hmm, don't we have any blog or at least announcement about that? Shortly, when new installation is accepted, installation program tries to find images with system which is the most similar to the one you want. When images (KDE, GNOME, Base ...) are found, they are downloaded and extracted to the new system. After that missing packages are installed the common way. It speeds up the a new installation process a lot. See also https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=381234 Bug 381234 - please add parameter to disable image based installation Lukas
