Hy, I tried to validate my autoyast file with the current dtd (/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/profile.dtd), on both suse 10 and SLES 9, with the help of xmlint command. I just wanted to notate, that those dtd does not take in charge the "configure" and "install" element. So if you want to validate the xml autoyast file, you need to remove both of them... But then of course the autoinstall procedure does not work, with the new xml file without both of this elements. Should I open a bugzilla for this ? I may supply a patch if needed :) Output of xmllint ----------------- xmllint --valid --noout autoinst-fred.xml autoinst-fred.xml:57: element configure: validity error : No declaration for element configure </configure> ^ autoinst-fred.xml:178: element install: validity error : No declaration for element install </install> ^ autoinst-fred.xml:179: element profile: validity error : Element profile content does not follow the DTD, expecting (files | firewall | groups | inetd | ldap | mail | networking | nfs | nfs_server | nis | nisplus | nis_server | ntp-client | printer | proxy | runlevel | samba-client | samba-server | scripts | security | sound | sysconfig | tftp-server | user_defaults | users | x11 | online_update | bootloader | classes | general | lvm | partitioning | partitioning_advanced | raid | report | software)*, got (configure install ) </profile> -- Frédéric Brin Consultant Novell France
