And what about SuSE Linux 10.1 (which we are using at the moment)?
I think I'll create an update for the root image of 10.1 when SLES10 is out. In that root image, I'll fix some bugs in yast.
OK, thanks, sounds good, looking forward to that one.
BTW, there's another annoying popup that shows up for some of our machines, stating something like "These disks have a raid controller that isn't guaranteed to work...". Any chance of getting rid of that one in a supposedly unattended installation (i.e. autoyast) as opposed to manual installation?
I talked to our storage guru about that. He said, if you wipe out the last percent of the harddisc (via dd), the warning should go away. There are some signatures stored there on the disc and if you erase those, the warning will not appear. Of course this only helps you if you have to install the same machine more than once with autoyast. You have to erase those signatures one time and will then never be annoyed again by the warning. If you install only once anyway, that will not help you of course.
Sounds OK, I'll try it, thanks. It'll be handy for our test machines anyways (which we redo over and over again).
All that's preventing us from having truly unattended installations is the two popups mentioned above, both need confirmation, i.e. human intervention. Not a showstopper, but definitely annoying when everything else works just great.
the signature popup can only be fixed by a yast bugfix or by a signed installation source.
Yeah, I hear you, that would be the proper thing todo. I'll get around to signing our packages one of these days:)
I'll fix that in the update for the root image of 10.1 too.
Thanks for that. /Lars
