[yast-devel] YaST: 10.3 installation testing
Hi, who never needs to test the first stage installation workflow, can safely delete this mail. :-) Starting with beta1, a shiny new linuxrc is used. In particular, you can specify an inst-sys independently of the repository. Like, e.g.: install=ftp://server1/pub/cd1?instsys=my_fancy_instsys [using ftp://server1/pub/cd1/my_fancy_instsys] or even install=ftp://server1/pub/cd1?instsys=nfs://server2/my/fancy_instsys The 'instsys' URL does _NOT_ point to a repository but directly to the instsys image (or directory). The old method of implicitly using a 'boot/<arch>/inst-sys' directory if one exists, is no longer supported. BTW, before someone asks: the linuxrc docs on opensuse.org have been updated. :-) BTW2, as of beta1 linuxrc checks the signatures of all files it downloads. Use 'insecure=1' to turn it off.

Can I use instsys via another protocol on other location? Example: install=ftp://server1/pub/cd1?instsys=http://server2/my_customized_root Michal
or even
install=ftp://server1/pub/cd1?instsys=nfs://server2/my/fancy_instsys

Sure. Cf. this example from may mail:
install=ftp://server1/pub/cd1?instsys=nfs://server2/my/fancy_instsys

ARGH! Well, for testing I will have to use install=ftp://server1/pub/cd1?instsys=inst-sys then.
BTW, before someone asks: the linuxrc docs on opensuse.org have been updated. :-)
Nice. ^^
BTW2, as of beta1 linuxrc checks the signatures of all files it downloads. Use 'insecure=1' to turn it off.
Ok... Any docs on how to generate your own signature and where to put the key? Or better, a script for that?

man gpg, I'd say. And add it here: # mnt boot/i386/loader/initrd # file /mnt/installkey.gpg /mnt/installkey.gpg: GPG key public ring Steffen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org

I've also found that 'root' (inst-sys) is no more 'cramfs' but newly 'squashfs'. If you want to decompile the 'root' file you will need a kernel module 'modprobe squashfs' (which is in squashfs-kmp-default.rpm, or squashfs-kmp-xen.rpm, or ...).

Ehm, yes. That was coolo's special wish. It compresses better and the 1-CD people wanted the additional space. It's a bit of a PITA, though, as our fs tools more or less ignore it.

It doesn't works for me in 10.3RC1. It seems that when I use instsys parameter it tries to use that url as repository (url mount: nfs:/my_repository_url fauled no openSUSE repository found) Steffen, did you change something?

Works fine for me. If not, boot with 'linuxrcdebug=1 linuxrclog=/foo' and send me the log. Steffen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
