After you finish building the system just have the system clone to an AutoYast file to use the next time. I haven’t forgotten anything in years as a result. Using the file on the next build just means pointing to it, and since it’s only a few KB it’s pretty simple. Patches applied at the same time even… try it out. 😉 Good luck. ---

openSUSE is the same way… and SLED. For that matter, other Linux distros can do this too. I know, you’re on windows. I’m mostly trying to be comical, except that it’s so sad that windows hasn’t figured this out yet to make it funny. Good luck. ---
