I have a snapshot of my repositories page so it's all good. Where would I put the autoinstall xml file if I wanted to put it into use? Like how would I use it? On Sun Jan 28 7:32 , David Bolt sent:

While on the subject, is there anyway to back up the markings on YaST. That way if you ever have to reinstall or if you want to set up a machine with similar settings, you can do so without having to manually remark everything?
I'm not too sure just how much this would work but, if you look under YaST -> Miscellaneous there's the option for configuring auto-installation which would allow you to create an autoinst.xml file for use in cloning your system.
If you've taken advantage of the "clone this system" option at the end of the installation, you can use the file created by that (/root/autoinst.xml) as the basis for a complete clone of a present system.
I'm not entirely sure how it would work if you've added packages from third-party repositories (Packman, Guru, etc.) as they may or may not be accessible during the installation. It looks like some experiments may be in order to find out how that would work. Thank goodness for virtual machines :)
