Hi,
I would like to reload the entire system from scratch but do not want to have to re-download all the patches I have already downloaded.

That's all possible. What I'd suggest though is an external USB/Firewire/SATA hard drive instead of going internal. That way its portable to friends, neighbors, relatives, can grab it when running from the burning building, etc.
I use an external USB HDD for my backups already and in case of burning buildings.
Have you searched opensuse.org for building YaST patch/update repositories, installing from external USB disks, etc?
No I haven't but hoped someone already had and could point me to a HOWTO. Failing this I will hit Google and search the Google/Linux and opensuse site site.
I am really hoping though someone else has done this and followed a HOWTO :)
That was my point: Go search on opensuse.org. There is a ton of information and HOWTOs there relating to all of this. The organization is getting better and better all the time. The search function is very powerful. I don't have direct links but I used this in the last few days looking for HOWTOs on booting USB sticks, etc. -- Stan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
