But it's your (good) concept. I don't want credit for
being the one who got houghi's idea into the distro as his own.

I already stole so many good ideas (Seperate /home, the red in CLI now
as root, the whole makeSUSEdvd concept, ...) that it is about time
somebody stole my idea.

In case (I've seen this) they purchase 50 PC:s in one go.
An image is great there, install one and clone it.

I have seen it as well and it was not a pretty sight. The most common
error is that they make the immage, burn it on CD and then need to add
stuff later, because they either forgot, or we are now two years down
the line and things have changed.

The advantage of using YaST to do it is that even if you have new
hardware along the line (because you have new staff and Dell changed
something) you still can use it. Portables? No problem, even though they
have a different network card.

Later when new software is required, you just change the AutoYaST stuff
and when then a new user arrives, you are ready to go.

The disatvantage is ineed that indead of doing the copy in 15 minutes,
of which you do 5 minutes actual work and for the rest don't do
anything at that machine. With AutoYast, it will take 1 hour of which
you do 5 minutes actual work.

So instead of 10 minutes not watching the machines, you have 55 minutes
of not watching the machines. ;-)

There are many ways of doing things and the best know when to apply what
:)
