Andreas, I don't know if I should place this request here or somewhere else, but after purchasing a boxed Suse 10.1 and still fighting with update servers not responding and Online Update not working properly, I am eagerly anticipating the "new yast2-online-update with an enhanced callback handling" (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=194424#c21). I have a whole batch of machines to install in my university group and I am dreading it, because of the painfull process of initial installation and patch. What I would love to have is a new ISO for 10.1 with all patches applied up to a certain date, especially including libzypp, zmd and YOU patches. I typically buy the Suse release from April/May and test it over the summer before my students and research group (now also colleagues) will install it in their machines. I write a small step-by-step instruction, so all machines have the same settings. But I have been holding off this year, because the patching part of the process has been non-reproducible to say the least. Assuming the revised versions of the patch tools work well, it will still be a chore to start the installation of 10.1 from the original DVD and to bring it up to a stable and patched state that will take us with relatively little trouble through the academic year, as I have been doing in the past. I don't want to start experimenting with 10.2, even if it ends up with a better update process, because I won't have time for it during classes. So, I wish I could download a new 10.1 ISO with applied patches that will make the installation process smooth as it was in other versions. Actually, I would be ready to pay for it. Do you think this is possible, Andreas?
