I'm trying to use the new Ask feature of autoyast, and prompt the user if they want their disk initialising. This is how the ask lines are looking in the /tmpautoinst.xml after the profiles have been merged etc.

Doh !!
<ask-list config:type="list"> <listentry>
is it documented that way? Should be <ask> and not <listentry> (even though both are working) but if we ever get the DTD profile-check fixed, it will complaint about <listentry>
In my profile, I put <ask-list> but, once the profiles have been merged, and dumped in /tmp/profile/autoinst.xml, it's been changed to <listentry>
<default>false</default> <path>partitioning,drive,initialize</path>
that's wrong. It's <path>partitioning,0,initialize</path> or 1,2,3 ... depends on the drive number.
Ahh, so if any items on the path are lists, you have to specify the number, not the name.
However, I'm not seeing any popups during the install
it should work
It is now. The ask section wasn't in the <general> section. ! Follow up question: Is it possable to do several changes for one answer ? i.e. If the user says, yes to initialize the disks, then I also want to format the home partition. -- Simon Crute IS&T Bracknell Novell UK Ltd
