Hi Mike -

Thank you for all your help.  I just made a decision to put the modified
control.xml in /y2update and everything worked from there (because
ProductControl.ycp reads /y2update first and then /control.xml next.)
and everything is automated now.. since we can modify that control file.


Thanks!

-Richard

Working backwards:

never have for us

haven't ever used that control.xml file.  I adapted ours from a
reference profile generated by the Autoinstallation tool under the
Miscellanceous section of yast2.

Hm...  Well...  you try this:

  rip the install media's iso to a disk, mount it:

  mkdir -p /tmp/image.iso
  mount -o loop image.iso /tmp/image.iso/
  cd /tmp/image.iso
  ls

  you'll see what you'd see if you put the disc in a CD/DVD reader.
  but you can write in here as well.
  Make your changes, burn a new bootable DVD or CD.

Or, PXE install from the network with your own control.xml - I name mine
for the OS version and config purpose, e.g. "osuse11.0-dev-desktop.xml,"
or "osuse10.3-compute-node.xml," etc.

PXE is worth doing if you have to install more than about two systems.
Manually install the first.  Turn it into a PXE server and then PXE
install the others over the network.

Lastly:

Here's the relevant "stuff" from our osuse10.3-compute-node.xml file:
