Hello,
I try to install SLES8 on a bunch of servers with SuSE AutoYaST.
Everything works fine but the software selection in my autoinst.xml
file
is ignored by autoyast. I want a "Minimal" installation with some
additional packages.
But the autoinstaller allways ignores my settings, and takes the
"Default System for United Linux" settings.
So I have to switch manualy to the the "minimum" installation on every
server. :-(
Here is my autoinst.xml

My info file:
install: nfs://10.181.206.63:/export/daten/dis/sles_8_0
netdevice: eth
server: 10.181.206.63
serverdir: /export/daten/dis/sles_8_0

netmask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 10.181.49.1
nameserver: 10.181.210.52
autoyast: floppy
I'am installing the servers over the network via nfs. I have also
followed the instructions in
"Chapter 6.1. Creating NFS directory for UL/SLES from distribution
CD's" from the AutoYast2 manual.
I thing I have the same problem as Thomas.
