I'm not familiar with Debian's 'purge'. Does it clear any config files (etc.) that are *specific to one package*, or does it do a system-wide purge of everything?
I guess both, since I also only heard and didn't use, but something like it is definitely there.
In the latter case: I imagine it should be easy enough to make a tool that: - gets a list of all installed packages - gets a file list for each package - merges all these lists together (make a 'master list') - eliminates all files on the system that are not on the master list - (optional: gets zypper to reinstall all packages)
Even a simple Perl script should be happy enough to do this...
Great, really can I get the instruction set of using that Perl script and the script itself if it is there?
In practice, what you get is a RESET button that reinstalls the system from scratch, but preserves package selection.
RESET button, okk, you mean this functionality could be added? If yes, okk, like Windows Restore option, it should work (IMO).
(On the other hand, you could just make an installation dvd for your chosen packages in SUSE Studio, and use that instead.)
