[opensuse-factory] Deploying installation images?
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' ? /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

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

I think I know that Mexican place in Praque - you've got to be very careful with the tequila ... Thanks for the expanation - the main reason I asked is that the image deployment seemed to take quite a while - with no indication of what was really going on. /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Question, please :-) Do the images reside in the DVD or have to be downloaded from the net? In the second case speed will be lost if connection is slow. If they have to be downloaded, perhaps an improvement would be to pre-download them to a partition or a local server and have them available to the istaller later. Another idea: instead of an install DVD, use a USB stick for install, to which the wanted images can be added on a second step; or the installer could download the image and store it on the stick for use by a second install. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Ok.

Well, they are actually downloaded if the installation media is FTP or HTTP. Images stored on DVD/CD/NFS/Samba/... are used directly without downloading. It depends on the media you are installing from: which means that even if the link is slow, it is still faster than downloading single RPMs. L.
