No problem, Mike. And good luck! So far, so good over here using
/y2update/control.xml to provision our machines. We haven't seen any
inconsistency as of yet.

Thanks!

Brilliant! Thanks for closing the loop - I'm filing this for use next
week on a new cluster I have to autoyast to life. :-)

Best,
Mike

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:

Do the license agreements have to be on an ask list for these
options to take effect?

never have for us

Also, did you guys remove the licenses from your install
media or does this work even with the licenses present?

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.

If I take out these lines from the control.xml file, it works
(however,
I can't modify the control.xml file as it's on the

read-only media..):

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:

Darn. It's not working in our environment. We're using SLES 10, if
that helps? Here's what I changed:

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

I believe that this tag:
<mode>
<confirm config:type="boolean">false</confirm>
</mode>

Is the one that makes it automatically accept it for us.
