I am a very long time user of Suse except past 3-4 years and I am getting back in to Opensource services. Till the time I used and installed suse was always the default one but now I want to make a customized suse disk which can be installed at the clients place.
My customized version shall be like this
Open Suse 12.1 32 bit
Qmail + Clamav + Spamassasin + SimScan + vpopmail + squirrelmail + Imap or may use Postfix.
Zabbix
Ipsec (may or may not use)
Pentaho
IDS
Firewall (Of course will be using SuseFirewall)
Apache + PHP + Mysql + Tomcat
And a few other stuff.
What I want is after I install and setup the above services I want to make this into a installable DVD so that I do not need to keep installing and configuring stuff at every new install.
I have seen Suse studio but that is confusing . Does anyone know any tool that I could use except DD ?
With Carlos here. SUSE Studio is the place to be. Takes a bit of reading, trying, perseverance, but it will allow you to create install media for almost any configuration you can imagine.

Not that I know. You use the original install media, plus an extra that you
put on another media (or a server, IIRC). The extra data is used to
reproduce the installation with the customized configuration you made.

Start by going into the package selection tab and search for the packages
you need, add them and their dependencies are automatically added.

You can upload files to the image or create a repository to put the
packages in if they’re RPMs. Or you can create a .tgz file and it’ll
unpack them during the first boot.
It seems that rather than try to find a more complicated way to do this,
you should look at using Studio and ask questions when you run into a
limitation. There’s really no need to re-invent the wheel.
I think I will need to go with kiwi as i cannot find any rpm’s for zabbix / pentaho , so I guess I will just get 12.1 32 bit (have 64bit but never tried it as a server) and then do the installation get all the necessary stuff I need and make an iso.

You can also do that in Studio, FYI - just upload the tarball and start a
testdrive session - run the installation in testdrive, and then grab the
changes to import into the appliance.
Ok guys I am using SS just uploading zabbix. going to upload Openkm and pentaho. May need qmail with clamav + simscan + vpopmail and imap but that I will try later. will keep you guys updated.

Good.
Did you create a second login? If so, please ask the admins to remove one.
