Hello Bernard, We installed the front node using network installation from our install server, A web server that points to identical copy of DVD files. Also updated the image from local update server which is synced with suse update server every night.
As for package selection we choose packages based on our own experience, tools we use and packages we need based on purpose of the cluster/server to be installed. I don't think our package selection will affect much your users since you can specify required packages for Oscar in packages/yume/prereqs.cfg to be installed by Oscar. Our suggestion to SuSE users would be the following: 1. After applying updates to SuSE installation, copy only full .rpm from updates to /tftpboot/distro/suse-10.0-i386/ and do not copy xxx.patch.rpm files. 2. Copy the /noarch/*.noarch.rpm files into /tftpboot/distro/suse-10.0-i386/noarch/ directory.
