Does anyone know if it is possible to use the 'dirinstall' from the command line?
For instance i would like to be able to do something like: # yast dirinstall -d /someroot -s mypackages.sel
If i do yast -h it says: "Usage: /sbin/yast [OPTIONS] [MODULE] [module specific parameters]"
But is there a way to find out what 'module specific parameters' are available for a specific module?
Teun, I had the exact same question. In fact, that's why I subscribed
to the list. I dug around in the source, and the only answers I was
able to find where "no" and "no". My solution was to write my own YCP
program. It took a lot of "reverse engineering" of the dirinstall and
related code, but it is possible to write a short snippet of YCP code
that sets the install directory, adds specific packages, and then kicks
off the dirinstall. I haven't done too much with it (I just got it
working yesterday), but it seems to work well enough.
My current struggle is to attempt to do the same from Perl using
YaST::YCP. But that's a topic for a different list, I suppose...
