Strangely enough, when I removed the extra path stuff, it worked. ;-) It also worked fine w/o the terminal definitions, etc. It came up during the last stage of the install, when it was already in a (frame-based?) graphical install mode. Seemed to go OK, except for the x11 one. It apparently hadn't yet installed a number of the base XFree packages it needed to do 'yast2 x11'. I'll keep your text in mind. Do the scripts execute in the order I enter them in autoyast? If so, I may need to re-order things. --Jon Robison -----Original Message----- From: Anas Nashif [mailto:nashif@suse.de] Sent: Tue 9/30/2003 8:13 PM To: Robison, Jonathon (M.)

You scripts wont work, as you are executing some gui stuff in a script. I have made a small test and it can work if you change the virtual terminal, for example, this would work: /bin/chvt 3 exec < /dev/tty3 > /dev/tty3 exec /sbin/yast2 proxy /bin/chvt 1 This would bring up the proxy configuration in text mode on the 3rd terminal. This can be used with other yast2 modules I guess..

RE: [suse-autoinstall] Error configuring software base-selection

Sorry, I reinstalled the server from scratch, since I had no time to wait and it works now (unfortunatly i haven't saved the old logfiles). I can't figure out what I did wrong the first place, except that i used numbers in the path to the repesitory (eg. "/usr/install/8.2") with a softlink ("/usr/install/current"). I now placed it directly under /usr/install and as I said it works now. -Stefan -----Original Message----- From: Anas Nashif [mailto:nashif@suse.de] Sent: 27. september 2003 02:56 To: Stefan Pahrmann Cc: 'suse-autoinstall(a)suse.com' Subject: Re: [suse-autoinstall] Error configuring software base-selection Stefan Pahrmann wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to do an unattended install, where i put the install files > from 8.2 on a nfs-share and the xml-files on a http-server.
