Hi,

I'm preparing an installation DVD for SLES9 SP and want to use AutoYast 
with XML control file and customized shell scripts. Because I don't want 
copy the shell code into every XML control file I want it separately on 
the DVD. Is the following possible?

<post-scripts config:type="list">
   <script>
     <filename>post-install.sh</filename>
     <location>dvd:///autoyast/post-install.sh</location>
   </script>
</post-scripts>

Or does one need to write a wrapper script that mounts the DVD, copies 
and executes the script manually? How can this be done during chroot 
installation phase when the name of the CD/DVD device file is not known 
and the /dev/cdrom link does not yet exist?

Regards,
Bernd

"dvd" is not known as a scheme by autoyast. You should try 
file:///autoyast/post-install.sh
You'll not have the script in the installation system so one might think 
that "file:///" can't work but Autoyast should try to find the script on 
the installation media (CD,DVD) as a fallback then too.

Yup, this works and reads the script from DVD:

<configure>
<scripts>
   <post-scripts config:type="list">
     <script>
       <filename>post-install.sh</filename>
       <interpreter>shell</interpreter>
       <network_needed config:type="boolean">false</network_needed>
       <!-- Reads from CD/DVD as fallback -->
       <location>file:///autoyast/post-install.sh</location>
     </script>
   </post-scripts>
</scripts>
</configure>

Thanks!

Regards,
Bernd
