Re: Too many packages in the patterns?

There is a YaST module that lets you select an additional pattern.

I can not remember the name now but I am sure it exists as we, in the linkat project, wrote our own and, when we finished, realized that YaST guys have done the same at the same time, and of course better.

The yast module was just presenting you with some options with descriptions and icons, and depending on the user selection, some extra patterns were added.

Then, each pattern was writing to disc a control.xml file so on firstboot you will get different workflows.

Would that be useful?
