You can use smart to get this effect. > E.g. Yast Online Update was able > to do this till SUSE 10.0 and it was easy to create a personalized patch > CD.

YOU in SL 10.1 has the same option in the UI, too (there is a checkbox "remove patches" which is unchecked by default), but it's a stub (i.e., it is not effective). A bug IMHO (the option should not be shown if it's not effective), no idea if that's already known. It is, most probably. > Can anybody give me a hint if it is possible? You can use smart, but it does not save packages by default. You have to enable it explicitly: smart config --set remove-packages=false More info: http://labix.org/smart/faq http://labix.org/smart/config-options Please note that this will cause smart to store all packages locally, even those that you might already have on your physical media.
