Easiest way is to create a autoyast profile from your running system. Install autoyast2 and then run yast2 clone_system It takes some time and then you have a xml: /root/autoinst.xml which contains not only rpm packages but also partition/filesystem layout, system settings, network settings and much more. Documentation is here: https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles11/singlehtml/book_autoyast/book_auto... If you reinstall the system, you have to feed the installer with the autoyast xml file. Another handy tool is yast2 support. Install yast2-support and navigate to "support" in yast2. then create a support-tarball. This contains many information you may want to review if your system has been reinstalled.
