how does it fail? what is the error message?

Hmm.. now I'm REALLY confused. :) I might've had errors that made my post-installs and such fail but this is _really_ odd. I fed in a profile that had a pre.sh that would output a modified.xml with 1 line change. I saved off /tmp/profile/*.xml and diff shows: $ diff autoinst.xml modified.xml 697c697 < sed -e 's/ /_SP_/g' -e 's/ /_TAB_/g' -e 's/\\/\\\\/g' $xmlin | while read line ---

sed -e 's/ / /g' -e 's/ / /g' -e 's/\\/\\\\/g' $xmlin | while read line

699,700c699,700 < line=${line//_SP_/ } < line=${line//_TAB_/ } ---

line=${line// / } line=${line// / }

848c848 < <timezone>US/Pacific</timezone> ---

<timezone>US/Eastern</timezone>

It's ok to ignore the 2 sed lines.. they're in the pre.sh part and have no effect, but the timezone is the bit that's important. After the install is done, I find: lnxlabbld3:/var/adm/autoinstall # diff -q modified.xml cache/installedSystem.xml Files modified.xml and cache/installedSystem.xml differ lnxlabbld3:/var/adm/autoinstall # diff -q autoinst.xml cache/installedSystem.xml lnxlabbld3:/var/adm/autoinstall # However: lnxlabbld3:/var/adm/autoinstall # date Wed Feb 28 17:53:34 EST 2007 So at the very least, autoyast seems to copy /tmp/profiles/autoinst.xml into /var/adm/autoinstall/cache/installedSystem.xml instead of copying modified.xml into there. The fact that I had my scripts failing in a way that seemed to indicate networking misconfiguration problems, and that the installedSystem.xml wasn't the modified.xml file.. led me to think that modified.xml was being ignored.. perhaps it's not. I'm going to try another test with my parts fixed (they're working in the above install test) and see if it semes to work or not. -- Mike Marion-Unix SysAdmin/Staff IT Engineer-http://www.qualcomm.com Antonio: "No more lonely Saturday nights, lying in a dark room listening to the faucet drip, drip, drip.

okay, we can call that a bug

FYI, this still exists (or cropped up again) in at least SLED10-SP1. I did some installs prep-ing our updated image last week and the resulting file in cache was not the modified copy. -- Mike Marion-Unix SysAdmin/Staff IT Engineer-http://www.qualcomm.com _Colonel Slade_: "There is nothing like the sight of an amputated spirit.

hm. That seems to went of my radar somehow. I have filed a bugreport for me. Thanx. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=328837

Although I agree it would be nice if autoyast saved the modified one itself, I'd like to point out that it's sometimes useful, for debugging, to have both the original and modified profiles.

I added this request into the case he opened about the modified file not being copied at all.
