Hi,

I'm trying to set up a rule based SLES11 installer that will perform 
different installations depending on hardware. A requirement is that the 
installer must be able to run without a network connection.

I'm invoking the autoinstaller like this:

autoyast=file:///profiles/rules/rules.xml install=cdrom

But it doesn't work. It seems it doesn't care about my rules.xml and just 
launches a generic minimalistic auto-install after validating the 
rules.xml file.

I'm reading this doc:
http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/rulesandclass.html

"The rules file is retrieved only if no specific control is supplied 
using the autoyast keyword. For example, if the following is used, the 
rules file wont be evaluated:

autoyast=http://10.10.0.1/profile/test.xml";

Does it mean it's impossible the way I'm trying to make it?

Should I use pre-install scripts instead?

Regards,
Tomas
