Hmm.. now I'm REALLY confused. :) 

I might've had errors that made my post-installs and such fail but this
is _really_ odd.  I fed in a profile that had a pre.sh that would output
a modified.xml with 1 line change.  I saved off /tmp/profile/*.xml and
diff shows:

$ diff autoinst.xml modified.xml
697c697
<       sed -e 's/ /_SP_/g' -e 's/      /_TAB_/g' -e 's/\\/\\\\/g'
$xmlin | while read line

It's ok to ignore the 2 sed lines.. they're in the pre.sh part and have
no effect, but the timezone is the bit that's important.

After the install is done, I find:
lnxlabbld3:/var/adm/autoinstall # diff -q modified.xml cache/installedSystem.xml
Files modified.xml and cache/installedSystem.xml differ
lnxlabbld3:/var/adm/autoinstall # diff -q autoinst.xml cache/installedSystem.xml
lnxlabbld3:/var/adm/autoinstall #

However:
lnxlabbld3:/var/adm/autoinstall # date
Wed Feb 28 17:53:34 EST 2007

So at the very least, autoyast seems to copy /tmp/profiles/autoinst.xml
into /var/adm/autoinstall/cache/installedSystem.xml instead of copying
modified.xml into there.

The fact that I had my scripts failing in a way that seemed to indicate
networking misconfiguration problems, and that the installedSystem.xml
wasn't the modified.xml file.. led me to think that modified.xml was
being ignored.. perhaps it's not. 

I'm going to try another test with my parts fixed (they're working in
the above install test) and see if it semes to work or not.
