How can I perform an upgrade on an installed SLES 10 using Autoyast? Nothing about it on FAQ or documentation.
If nothing else you could always use autoyast's ability to reuse the partitions and not reformat them. We deliberately use a partioning scheme that separates the data from the OS so that we can use this, and reformat all but the data partition(s) so that you can do an "upgrade" and save all important data. Of course we have a massive CM system that controls anything important in /etc and stuff too so needing to save info there doesn't come into play. I even recently created a simple curses menu based pxe boot that allows one to re-install our SLED10-sp1 image on a box doing the partition reuse while saving user data, and in the chroot it gathers the company image specific info for itself and uses that to configure itself. -- Mike Marion-Unix SysAdmin/Staff IT Engineer-http://www.qualcomm.com [Desperate for a doughnut, Homer opens his "Emergency Procedures" manual to reveal a cutout with some crumbs and a note...] Homer: [reads note] "Dear Homer, I.O.U. one emergency donut.
