We could setup the factory-extra (inst-sourc-extra) tree as add-on product for those that want to try it.

Well, as this is beta and beta is for testing purposes, please do.

The yast code is not working for us in such a way that it would make sense to test for you...

It would be even nicer if it would be possible to add additional resources as well.

What exactly do you mean? Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

I am not clear to waht you mean. First you say you could add something and then when I say: please do, you say you can't. So why ask in the first place? I have no problem if it is not ready, I just answerd a question. ;-)

We could add in theory - once we have everything working - ... Right now it's too buggy :-(

Adding Guru or other repo's as an add-on product.

Ok, I'll take care to get documentation on how to setup a repo as add-on product as soon as we have all the pieces together, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

I just detect that there is the chance to click for add-on products during installation.

I tried to add the /pub/suse/i386/10.1/inst-source directory via nfs, but then I get an error: File /installation.xml not found on media: ...

Is this a bug, or is "add-on product" something else?

Add-On product is something else. In the end it's a media with extra packages that is setup in such a way that certain packages will be installed automatically, the workflow can be enhanced...

The "CD6" with binary packages will be done as an Add-on product. It needs extra information in it. We could setup the factory-extra (inst-sourc-extra) tree as add-on product for those that want to try it. With Beta8 the Addon media handling does still not work correctly,

... but it seems to work... After clicking "ignore" twice (a second missing description file there) and "continue", installation is using both sources. Or is it because it was already a configured installation source within the old system? Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
