Hello,

It's me again  :-)  I've done several hands off autoinstalls and have a=20
couple of problems.  First of all, I am not going to run level 5 despite=20
the following in my autoinst.xml file:

    <runlevels>
      <default>5</default>
      <services config:type=3D"list"/>
    </runlevels>

It always comes up in run-level 3.  /etc/inittab has the correct entry=20
(id:5:initdefault) so after I reboot, everything is fine.  Is this a=20
bug?  Does something tell the system to only go to run-level 3?

Along the same lines, the keyboard keymapping is always de despite the=20
fact that I have en_US set for language and english-us set for keymap:

    <keyboard>
      <keymap>english-us</keymap>
    </keyboard>
    <language>en_US</language>

After I run yast2 keyboard and hit accept (English is already selected)=20
everything seems fine.  Is de the default and the XF86Config file just=20
not being written properly?  yast2 seems to be updating=20
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard.  What might be wrong here?

Root password and pre-scripts/post-scripts are not being executed at=20
all.  Here is what I have:

Root:

    <users config:type=3D"list">
      <user>
        <encrypted config:type=3D"boolean">true</encrypted>
        <user_password>password</user_password>
        <username>root</username>
      </user>
    </users>

I've tried "password" as above and the MD5 encrypted string with the=20
same results.  No password is set.

pre-post-scripts:

    <post-scripts>
      <script>
      <filename>post.sh</filename>
      <interpreter>shell</interpreter>
      <source><![CDATA[#!/bin/sh

echo "Running Post-install script"
ls -lR /tmp
df -k
/bin/rpm -e autofs
/sbin/yast2 -i autofs4
cat /etc/modules.conf | sed -e 's/^#.*alias autofs/alias autofs/' > ttt.new &=
& mv ttt.new /etc/modules.conf
/sbin/depmod -a

]]></source>
      </script>
    </post-scripts>
    <pre-scripts>
      <script>
      <filename>pre.sh</filename>
      <interpreter>shell</interpreter>
      <source><![CDATA[#!/bin/sh

echo "Running pre-install script"
ls -lR /tmp
df -k
]]></source>
      </script>
    </pre-scripts>

Neither one works.  What am I missing?

What is the controlling factor when doing an unattended install?  When I=20
do this with CD's I don't have these problems!

I'm sure there are and will be other questions but that's it for now.

Thanks in advance,

-dan
