Hi,

In the past, one could use the yast2-dirinstall module to create an installation into a specified directory (eg for creating an image for OpenVZ - which I was hoping to do with LEAP 42.2).

This module doesn't exist any longer - has its functionality been moved elsewhere?

Interesting. Did not know about this module and was even thinking about writing a script to do something like this with the help of "zypper --root". This IMHO is also the most important component. If you want to do it manually, create a directory, create repository files, e.g. ``` mkdir -p /tmp/new_root/etc/zypp/ rsync -aHP /etc/zypp/repos.d/ /tmp/new_root/etc/zypp/repos.d/ zypper --root /tmp/new_root install zypper ``` -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
