Re: [suse-autoinstall] Best practices for adding external package sources?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Michael, Is there a good searchable site for the archives? Right now, the best I've found is http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-autoinstall/ and not very useful... Perhaps a FAQ on this topic would be appropriate at this point, if anybody @ Novell is reading this.. Since it comes up so often. Mihcael On Oct 18, 2005, at 4:03 PM, Michael Marion wrote:

I have two dilemmas with AutoYast I'm sure somebody here will be able to help me solve. They're really the same issue, and that is adding external rpms.
Both of what you want to do can be easily solved using a custom path with custom RPMS.
Look in the archives for the subject:
Additional Package & Silent install
One message of which also talks about 2 other threads with more in- depth info.

I know, you can't search the archive and that makes it a bit useless. So I would suggest you to use google like this: "suse-autoinstall" site:suse.com pxe "pxe" is an example of course

doing a FAQ is on my TODO. -- 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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Awesome, that helped a lot, thanks! For another question.. Do you have any good places to find rpms for packages that for some reason aren't included in SLES9? Specifically I'm stuck in depdency problems right now trying to get ImageMagick working cleanly in SLES9.. There must be a dozen rpms it needs that aren't available in the SLES9 distribution.

The packages from SUSE Linux 9.1 are worth a try, but you are of course completely on your own as regards their maintenance. They are not officially supported in SLES9. Using them might have some impact on maintenance/support agreements you might have - I have no clue if this is the case or not.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm still having some issues adding correct packages here. My install is SLES9, with SP2 installed. Where should I be putting these packages, and which EXTRA_PROV should I be updating? The one in the SP2 subtree, the SLES subtree, or the CORE subtree? The packages don't seem to get found during autoyast when I put them in the SP2 subtree. A lot of packages get lost, and fail during installation with useless errors when I put them in the CORE or regular subtree. On Oct 26, 2005, at 8:09 PM, Michael T. Halligan wrote:
