Or could I use a SLES9 installation engine to install SLES8.
I don't think so.
It seems to me by your formulation that SLES9 can format and partition the DASD?
the official SLES9 can't do that. We need that feature for SLES10 and so I created a patch for the driverupdate of SLES9 SP3 to make early testing possible. If you use that patch, autoyast on SLES9 can handle DASD too but it's not so official. It's more in a beta phase for testing here at SUSE and some IBM guys test that too. Official DASD support in autoyast will come with the next SUSE Linux version. -- 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
