Hello, In reading the AutoYast2 documentation for SLES 8, I see two seemingly conflicting descriptions of the level of user intervention. In the first sentance of the first paragraph of chapter one, it states "AutoYast2 is the system for installing one of more SuSE Linux systems automatically and without user intervention". Later on, in second to last paragraph of secion 1.2, it states "Using a control file, Yast2 prepares the system for a custom installation and avoids any interaction with the user, unless specified in the control file". So, my question is, how well (or minimaly) can I control what the user can enter? In my situation, I am setting up an NFS install for several hundred testers and developers. They are working on various machines from a number of vendors and I want them to basicaly do everything in the installation themselves (apart from a few presets): I only want to: * install some custom developed RPMs on their system regardless of their choice of profile or individual package selection. (I have added these packages to the installation according Anas' instructions). * preset the timezone * install a custom ntp.conf * add entries to their /etc/fstab for some nfs entries That's basicaly it. Because of the diverse needs of the installers and the various machines they will be installing, it is only feasible to have one control file and let then to most of the configuration themsleves as opposed to writting a custom control file for each type of hardware with different harddrives and videocards, etc. Is this goal within the scope of AutoYast2?
