Hallo Anas, hallo list!
I am trying to install sles8 with service pack 2 in an automated way.
The kernel and the inird from the sp2-CD (chosen because of hardware
support) are booted via pxe.
When checking the software selection I always get a long list of dependency
errors beginning with "aaa_skel not available..." and so on.
Please help and tell me how I can do better! I suppose it has nothing to do
with the /UnitedLinux-i386-1 directory, but maybe I am wrong...
My nfs-exported directory for linuxrc looks like this:
|--boot
| `--loader
|--content (file from sles8)
|--media.1 (from sles8)
|--sles8
| |--UnitedLinux
| |--boot
| |--docu
| |--dosutils
| |--media.1
| |--media.2
| |--media.3
| |--suse
| `--yast
|--sp2
| |--UnitedLinux
| |--boot
| |--docu
| |--i386
| |--images
| |--linux
| `--media.1
`--yast
|--ul
|--instorder (file)
`--order (file)
I011-52:/autoinst/suse/sles8sp2/yast # cat order
/sles8 /sles8
/sp2 /sp2
I011-52:/autoinst/suse/sles8sp2/yast # cat instorder # I want to prefer sp2
packages if possible
/sp2 /sp2
/sles8 /sles8
Thanks a lot,
Martin

Hi,
It can be done in an automated way. For example, my nfs export for SLES8
i386 with SP2 looks like this:
|-- SP2
| |-- UnitedLinux
| |-- boot
| |-- docu
| |-- i386
| |-- images
| |-- linux
| `-- media.1
|-- SuSE-Linux-SLES-i386-8
| `-- CD1
| |-- boot
| |-- docu
| |-- media.1
| |-- suse
| `-- yast
|-- UnitedLinux-i386-1
| |-- CD1
| | |-- UnitedLinux
| | |-- boot
| | |-- docu
| | |-- dosutils
| | `-- media.1
| `-- CD2
| |-- UnitedLinux
| |-- boot
| `-- media.2
|-- boot
| `-- loader
|-- media.1
`-- yast
`-- ul
in the directory yast, there are 2 files: order and instorder
This is the content which references the location of the root of every
source. (where the media.1 directory is available)
# cat yast/instorder
/UnitedLinux-i386-1/CD1 /UnitedLinux-i386-1/CD1
/SP2 /SP2
/SuSE-Linux-SLES-i386-8/CD1 /UnitedLinux-i386-1/CD1
avicenna:/work/CDs/sles8-i386 # cat yast/order
/SP2 /SP2
/SuSE-Linux-SLES-i386-8/CD1 /SuSE-Linux-SLES-i386-8/CD1
/UnitedLinux-i386-1/CD1 /UnitedLinux-i386-1/CD1
(delimiter is tab)

Hope that helps...
