some questions about making a custom suse distro

I'm trying to make a custom distribution based on SUSE to distribute to the community.

I'm using the "Image Creator" option in YaST to do this.

Here's what I want to know:
1. I will be having software from multiple repositories. Will the installation sources used be automatically added to the installed OS? If not, how do I make it do so?

2. I want some customized default options. A different default kde theme, some different file associations, and a custom /etc/skel (which is the way that I would do the theme and file associations default for new users, unless there's a better way). How would I go about doing this?

Welcome – SUSE Studio

Not to be mean, but, why in the world would you link me to an invite-only beta website?

Does anybody have the answer for either my questions? it isn't really a big deal - I'll just have to do some post-install on these computers then, but I'd like to know if I use SUSE next year and have to deploy it on far move computers...

At least I had a stab at something for you. Let's have another go:
Making a openSUSE based distribution - openSUSE
