[opensuse-autoinstall] openSUSE 12.3 installation with updates from DVD
Hi all, We have downloaded the openSUSE 12.3 X64 DVD and copied it to a USB pendrive and OK installing from the USB pendrive. We have just downloaded the 1.2GB's of updates from ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/opensuse/update/12.3 that have been released since the release of 12.3. Is it possible to incorporate these updates onto the USB (or DVD) and get those installed in the initial installation? I have read the information at SUSE / Uwe Gansert / autoyast / autoinstall and used the tool "create_update_source.sh" which has added the updates folder to the USB pendrive but what do I have to do next to tell the install to use this update folder? Have been playing with autoyast and got a profile that nearly works so if it is something that gets added in the autoinst.xml, then that should be OK. I am aware of the ag_initscripts issue with autoyast as described here... [Bug 801878] AutoYast hangs at "Install Required Packages" and waits for. Any help or advise appreciated. Regards, Stephen. PS. Please note... I have also posted this on the openSUSE forums. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner@opensuse.org
My best practise: I never mess around with the initial release. For an update i create an update repository and add a section within my autoinst.xml to point to this repository. During installation the stuff from the update will be used as well.

Hi,
OK... will try this. Can that update repository reside on the install
DVD or install USB in a separate folder or does your autoinst.xml
point at a network location?
Care to share the few lines out of your autoinst.xml?
Regards,
Stephen.

From my understanding the update repository can be located on the installation media but we do only network installation so the following example must be adopted for a local repository.
Care to share the few lines out of your autoinst.xml?
An example for a network based add-on for opensuse 12.1

From a google search ( search was: add-on autoyast ) i found the following for local media based repository.
