Hi,

still playing around with SLES-updates to a SuSE system. Got it all
working by copying the SLES RPMs into the updates/ dir.

But now writing the lilo.conf fails at the end of the installation
(just no file is created at all and AY complains sth. went wrong with
the bootloader).

This happens when the the packages 
limal
limal-bootloader
limal-perl
from SLES10 are in the updates/ dir and are installed in the otherwise
SuSE 10.1 system.

I find this quite confusing: Doesn't the installer contain all modules
that it needs for writing config files in the installed system? Of
course AY takes stuff like lilo and mk_initrd from the installed system,
but for generating config files, too?

This is not a problem here, of course, I'm just curious about the way
AY works.

cu,
Frank
