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:-)
I doubt this legal, at least in the US as I understand openSUSE cannot include packages from Packman.... or even redirect to Packman. But I do see that they advise methods to add Packman's repos. Most of the additionally required multimedia packages are obtained via opensuse-community.org. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
