Hi,
This may seems to silly, but with SuSE Linux versions I've used, from 6.2 up to 10.0 there was an option in Yast software installation/management that allows to save your package selection, so that, if need to install a new system I can reused my custom package selection, but this options is gone with OpenSuSE 10.1 (final release). It seems that this feature was replaced by the autoinstall, but it's not very well documented, and I couldn't menage to create just the "package selection". So my question is: How do I save it and reuse it for a later installation ? (but just the package selection).
Thanks.
Although I don't have 10.1 yet, I am guessing that the option is still there. It is not (in my HO) part of the install but you don't mention where you have looked at it. After the install, go into YAST --> software installation and when you get to the 'Search' screen where you can start selecting packages, look for the FILE option in the upper left of the menu bar. Under FILE, you should find an export option. You can export to a floppy, hard drive or other device of your choice. Use import to bring the selections into a different system. Should be there.
