Is that machine a 9.3 too? I would suggest to start with an empty
then configure all you need (partitioning, software, network, root

from scratch. Then you have a better overview on what you have configured in the profile.
My aim is to clone this 9.3 machine. Starting with an empty profile looks kinda hard to me since I need to use LVM. Yast tells me: "For LVM and RAID setup, consult the documentation and add the configuration to an existing control file." Is the documentation mentioned the one located in /usr/share/doc/packages?
With DTD:
/tmp/YaST2-15489-tNCLVw/valid.xml:12: element device_map: validity
error :
No declaration for attribute type of element device_map
^ What was wrong? I don't know. It might help to see the profile.xml. Can you post it?
Where should it be located?
thank you, that's a bug. I fixed that and you can download new RPMs from here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/ug/RPMs/9.3/autoyast/
- created a dummy partition maually without the crypt option being checked: <partition> <crypt>twofish256</crypt> ... I don't know the internals, perhaps I'm wrong, but.. maybe you can tell me
I'm not sure if I undrestand your question right but the <crpyt> tagdoes not meant that the partition is encrypted. So it can always be there anddoes not hurt. It's just an information IF the partition is encrypted. Ok, you got me. It looked diffusing to me ;)
- Configuring my partition setup after generating a reference file
possible. The left bar tells me sth about a table to the right. Unfortunately there is no table to the right - there is no problem, when start with an empty setup.
that's another bug (but that one I already knew) and it's fixed too in
isn't the
RPMs above. Thank you.
Is there a way to tell yast to create a xml file on installation time, like kickstart?
I don't know kickstart but wouldn't that be the "reference profile" from
the
autoyast UI? That's right. Older RedHat installations (I think fedora still do) generated a kickstart file after installation. The machine can then be cloned using this file easily.
thank you. I'm going to try now..
