Feature changed by: Piotrek Juzwiak (BenderBendingRodriguez) Feature #308561, revision 3 Title: re-install openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: jean vangand (jeanvangand) Description: When re-installing openSUSE I would like to have the option of selecting all previous installed applications of a previous openSUSE install ( openSuse has to detect a previous install and look into the Yast package database of the previous install ? ) Instead of searching every single application I've installed before, it would be great if a list with previous installed applications was presented. I can check the ones i need in the new installation and during installation the packages will be downloaded. Now: after a new installation it takes a couple of weeks to get my system back with all needed software/applications. With this feature: Just check the checkboxes of the previous installed applications. After install my system will be 99% like it used to be... "Real" installation time (to a fully functional system) will be many times shorter... + Discussion: + #1: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) (2009-12-17 18:26:01) + You can do that by simply exporting the list of installed applications + (in YaST) and then import it with the fresh/new system. If some + repositories are not present then it will install only those + applications that are available. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308561
