Note that I did it with an actual copy of the CDs that someone sent me.
Unfortunately Suse doesn't seem to want people like me to support their
products.

You may want to cut down the rpms you have to only those that are on
CD1.  I can send you the listing if you want.

That is the correct solution.

At this point it is processing the list of rpms that are used in the hostfs during
installation.  It should basically end up being filesystem support (mkfs.*),
the shell, awk, mount, various utilities etc.  However I do defer the rpms for
the dependency processing.

So you should have been able to fix it by adjusting the installrpms variable.

At this point it is getting real wierd what is being sucked in for the installrpms.  There
really shouldn't be any X stuff.
