Adding a custom package to auto-install / IP/DNS info
I'm having trouble finding the answers I need. After doing a lot of searching I still can't quite figure out what needs to be done. Here's my situation. I have a box installed as an SLES 9 load server. I let yast copy the CDs, and yast places each CD into a different directory under the main directory. My goal is to be able to insert a CD in a machine, give it an IP address and gateway information, then walk away and have everything installed automatically. I've got it partially working. I've created a load file which works just fine to load the exact packages from the SLES distribution; now I need to be able to load one or more additional, customized packages that I've created. Can anyone point me a document that leads me, step by step, through the process to do this? The only things I've been able to find are difficult to follow and not always applicable because they aren't for SLES distributions. The other issue is that though it installs using the IP and GW I typed in, it doesn't keep the IP/GW and use them for the installed machine's IP and GW. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to pass the IP/GW info on through the install process? Oh, and finally, as a bit of extra icing on my cake, I'd like to change some of the function key text and functions and haven't been able to find that anywhere on the disk. Can someone point me to where that is or how it can be changed? Thanks, Sean. -- Sean L.

we have that question often here (even though it's not autoyast related). I hope this thread will help you: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-autoinstall/2005-Nov/0026.html -- 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
