Hi list!

 

I've got a complete working installation system with autoyast - but only
if it's being served by NFS (after PXE boot the client) or on a burned
CD.

The problem is, because of limitation with the network in our office, we
have to use HTTP after PXE booting.  I have some chroot install scripts
that copy over a few .tgz files off the NFS server (or the CD) and
un-tar them in a post install script.  With HTTP, "cp" doesn't work, and
I have to do an HTTP GET.  

 

I'd like to have one autoyast.xml file handle all three situations. 

 

So my questions are:

 

1)       Is there a way to determine which type of installation is
taking place during chroot script environment?  (is it CD or PXE/NFS or
PXE/HTTP?)

2)       If it is HTTP, how does one obtain the server address, and the
path to the root of the install tree during chroot 

 

Much appreciation for any help I can get!

 

Thanks,

-- Ryan
