Yogesh, If you start YaST and go to Misc (left) Autoinstallation (right), you will be able to use YaST to capture your current system configuration and have it generate the corresponding XML for you. You can also just directly configure things in the menus and see what it does. It's very cool. I use this all the time to get snippets of XML to put into my control files. It works quite well, but the verifier option doesn't work perfectly (the .DTD files are not up-to-date). Once you configure something, you can look at the generated XML source directly. -- Charlie -----Original Message----- From: Yogesh Bhanu [mailto:yogesh@gsf.de] Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2005 11:08 AM To: suse-autoinstall@suse.com Subject: [suse-autoinstall] autoinstall Hi , I 'm trying to figure out .. how to use autoyast for my cluster installation . Coming from Redhat I have used kickstart for doing my installations. Now is there a way when I install sles 9 a dummy autoyast file is created similar to a dummy kickstart file. Building a xml file from scratch looks pretty daunting.
