Hello, I am using opensuse10.0 at the moment. i do installations of hosts usually via NFS which woks fine. What I wanted to achive is that when an installation starts a certain set of packages is used for this installation without the need to go into the yast menues an select the packages I would like to install. So i created my own package selection and integrated it in mediaroot/suse/setup/descr/ . Manually I can activate this package selection in yast. Now I would like to automatically select this package selection when yast starts up in an installation process. So I thought I create a autinstall.xml file containing code to select my package selection and then go on installing like usual. The autoinst.xml file is very simple (created by yast autoinstall): <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE profile SYSTEM "/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/profile.dtd"> <profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns"> <software> <addons config:type="list"> <addon>Min</addon> <addon>uniko-4.2</addon> </addons> <base>Minimal</base> </software> </profile> I put this file in the root directory that I specify for NFS installation. When I now start an installation and say autoyast=default on the kernel commandline autoyast comes up and at the point of "Steuerdatei abrufen und einlesen" it asks me in a dialog Box for "Pfad für Systemprofil" (Path to system profile). And now I actually do not know what autoyast needs? I thought my autoinst.xml file is the system profile needed? But it seems there is something more? Can anyone help Thanks Rainer -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainer Krienke, Universitaet Koblenz, Rechenzentrum, Raum A022 Universitaetsstrasse 1, 56070 Koblenz, Tel: +49 261287 -1312, Fax: -1001312 Mail: krienke@uni-koblenz.de, Web: http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~krienke Get my public PGP key: http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~krienke/mypgp.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
