Maybe it is a good idea doing only minium with autoyast and the other with post script as you propose. But the better way would be a functioning yast2 xml editor createing valid configuration files.
I agree, but I have now had to further convolute things as I found my post_install script was causing the auto_install process to fail. Not much idea why as if I run the script myself after the auto_install process has completed then everything is fine - submitted as a bug to Suse feedback. I have now moved to having the postinstall script do the bare minimum and put the following script into: /etc/rc.d/first_boot.sh #!/bin/sh # Call the script that should be in ./root and run it with the -x option # and log output to log file in /root /bin/sh -x /root/boot_suse91.sh 2&> /root/boot_suse91.log exit 0 use a soft link: ln -s /etc/rc.d/first_boot.sh /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99first_boot and everything works well and I can see what is going on + run it manually if I want to. I am now much happier and can get on with work at a good pace rather than having to reboot the target machine all the time and try to work out what autoyast has done.

Yup, I had one of these problems as well (answer below). You should be able to edit the xml file and just keep on trying the validation (annoying as you have to keep opening the xml file each time you edit it). Tip: when editing the xml file (using vi, for example) copy it somewhere else first. the autoyast GUI seems to occassionally take a dislike to manually edited xml files and then not open them at all (no error, it just does not open them).
Quite frankly I am finding it better to keep the xml file small and to do most things using a post-install script.
Your uid problem can easily be a one-liner in a post install script, for example.
Mind you it does not seem to be all sweetness and light with post-install scripts as they seem to run in a rather odd env, that does not appear to be true sh (missing standard commands, etc.)

I have used the "autoinstall" feature of YaST to create a profile, and then try to validate it. It comes back with the following errors. Shouldn't it create a valid profile, especially as I have no way of choosing the window manager. This is under SuSE 9.1 professional.
