you say "out of the box" but I ask anyway. Do you have a lot of repositories added to your installation? then please deactivate them and try again. There was a bug when you have a lot of (lets say 10 or so) repositories.
No, I did not add or change any repositories. I do use an out of the ordinary installation method, however, I'm not sure if that would affect the available repositories. I purchased the boxed version of opensuse, copied the contents of the DVD to an FTP server, and did a network install from that FTP server. I just checked the available repositories, and it does have my FTP server in there as an additional repository. However, that only makes it 6 repositories in total (opensuse-11.1-update, opensuse-11.1-debug, opensuse-11.1-non-oss, opensuse-11.1-oss, opensuse-11.1-source, and my FTP server), and only 4 of them are enabled (opensuse-11.1-update, opensuse-11.1-non-oss, opensuse-11.1-oss, and my FTP server). I may have complained too soon however. I left autoyast running overnight on a testing machine, and it was able to successfully complete generation of a reference profile. Judging from the logs, it took about 5 or 6 hours to complete. I'll follow up shortly with the logs that Katarina requested. -- Jim Faulkner / james.faulkner@cs.yale.edu Systems Administrator, Linux Systems Design & Support (LSDS) Yale University Information Technology Services (ITS) =============================================================== NOTE: Yale ITS will NEVER request passwords or other personal information via email.
