Hi Mike - We do use our own autoyast "control" file, but we also have a "control.xml" file that resides on the root directory of the ramdisk once yast loads up. I think ProductControl.ycp reads it. That's the file that has all of the license agreement modules in it. So, I guess even if it has modules in there for licensing, there is some way to turn on a timeout for the license but I have yet to find it yet. Our system does NFS installs off of loop mounts of our ISO images and then uses a tailored autoyast.xml file for the automation piece, but then also uses the control.xml file that was talked about earlier that we can't modify. I'll try a few other things and see what I can come up with. Thanks for your help! -Richard -----Original Message----- From: Mike Marion [mailto:mmarion@qualcomm.com] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2008 9:33 PM To: opensuse-autoinstall@opensuse.org Subject: Re: [opensuse-autoinstall] How to bypass AutoYaST licenseWITHOUTremoving the license from the media?

Do the license agreements have to be on an ask list for these options to take effect?
Not entirely sure what you mean, but grep -i license in my xml files comes up empty.
Also, did you guys remove the licenses from your install media or does this work even with the licenses present?
Didn't change anything... left it alone.
If I take out these lines from the control.xml file, it works (however, I can't modify the control.xml file as it's on the read-only media..):
Ah.. don't have any of this stuff in ours. That's probably what's trigging it for you I'd bet. We do installs off NFS and use our own autoyast files (using rules.xml to pull pieces together). -- Mike Marion-Unix SysAdmin/Staff IT Engineer-http://www.qualcomm.com "640k memory is enough for anyone." -- Bill Gates -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
