And if one wants to use YaST1 for creating users or rpm retrieval it should not be too difficult,

The former yes, the latter no. YaST1/YaST2 do not rely on RPM information alone but also use their own package description files (like common.pkd). The format of these files changes from version to version and thus YaST1 would have to be adapted to these if you want to use YaST1 to install from CD/DVD.
