I had a look at this some time back, the YaST backup tool does start the process off but after a long runtime only flags part of thy information. required. What seems to be needed is a tool that takes a snapshot of the installation (rather than an image) which one can then be used to do a custom installation. There is some support for this against a shared repository on a local network, and KiWi I have been informed has some of the capability. However, this do require some scripting and requires the kind of testing which really only can only be done if one has got a spare box one can afford to cripple. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
