I am not making myself clear. The autoyast.xml file is on the boot CD. The 
installation media is elsewhere. When it comes time for the autoyast.xml file to 
be recognized it is not found by the installer. The directives 
autoyast=file:///autoyast.xml does not work.

This is what my installation root looks on the CD,

drwxr-xr-x   5 root root   176 2006-01-07 23:30 ./
drwxrwxrwt  45 root root  2456 2006-01-08 11:45 ../
-rw-r--r--   1 root root 17360 2006-01-07 23:30 autoyast.xml
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root   328 2005-09-14 21:04 boot/
-r--r--r--   1 root root   692 2005-09-14 19:34 content
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root   152 2005-09-14 19:55 media.1/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root    48 2005-09-14 21:04 suse/



Am I wrong in thinking it can be recognized on the boot CD?


Thanks,

LDB
