Good news, this won't be necessary.

Apart from having to remove Netscape6 from the package repository
directory, and having to copy over xv, I was able to get the mirror
packages to work with a modified profile by altering the installrpms
variable.  Patch is below.

This was the solution, added nvi to the installrpms variable.

After adding nvi to the installrpms variable this error went away.

Got Suse7.3pro up, there was one X error:

	There is no link /var/X11R6/bin/X to the correct X Server
	binary.  Please configure the correct X Server with SaX/SaX2, which
	will create the missing link. I'm aborting now

Adding this link did the trick: /var/X11R6/bin/X -> /etc/umlutil/xserver .

Can I change supportedfs=['ext2'] to supportedfs=['ext2','reiserfs'] ?

Here's the patch for the diff -u.
