What would really be of help is an installation that keeps all of the

And why do you not do that already? Export your preferd installation in
YaST. Import it at the next installation and you are done.

You mean exporting the package list xml file? It's that next
'installation' that I'd want to avoid. If I could make one installation
that resembles a live DVD I'd just replicate it 40 times with dd to any
computer with any cpu, edit fstab and be done. Whenever booted it would
set itself up like the live opticals. Pretty sure many people do that
already but it's way over my head.

The other goodie would be user folders with relative paths (~/) used. I
could replicate those and then copy in the old internet wares with
personal contents.

Uh, all users have that relative path. ~/ IS $HOME

I know that.

What I had in mind was one user folder that can be tweaked and set up
without containing a single file with the string "/home/somename/" in it
but instead "~/". The contents of such a folder could then copied into
/home/anyname before creating a user with the folder name.
