hello everyone,
the exact error message is "A profile for this machine could not be found or
retrieved. Check that you entered the correct location on the command line
and try again. Because of this error, you can only enter a URL to a profile
and not a directory. If you are using rules or host name-based control
files, restart the installation process and make sure the control files are
accessible."
I generated a config file using yast autoyast within NLD9 (SP2). DTD check
says it's okay.
And yast is retrieving the file upon its installation attempt:

x.x.x.10)

Still I get the error message quoted above.. so what's wrong?
my very basic 'just getting started' profile file:
<?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">
<configure>
<networking>
<dns>

the profile you have pasted here looks good. Switch to the console (CTRL+ALT+F2) and take a look at the /var/log/YaST2/y2log file. near to the bottom of the file, there should be some information what went wrong. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
