I read the manual and tried to get it work
what went wrong?
The control file is on our local FTP-Server.
then you can add "autoyast=ftp://servername/profile_name.xml" to the linuxrc parameter list (that's where you configured the "install=nfs://...." too)
On our installation server there are only ISO-Files of the installation CDs, which are mounted loopback (incl. SP1...). A simple remote installation with ssh with ramdisk, yast etc. works fine. It is not possible to use a CD-ROM or floppy for the control file. But I can make changes to the iso-files.
You can manipulate the installation source, if you want that, and put the profile_name.xml in the root directory of the installation source. Command line is "autoyast=file:///profile_name.xml" then. I always use an http server to distribute the control file, so it's "autoyast=http://servername/profile_name.xml" for me. Other options for you are tftp and nfs. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nürnberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
