Hi... I made my first attempt to use autoyast2 this week end and I'm still having some problems... Actually, I'm trying to find the "right" way of using it... Here's is what I am trying to do: I would like to setup an NFS autoinstall which lets me install the standard packages from the SuSE-8.1 DVD + some additional packages not included in SuSE-8.1. I decided to manage that by building a "custom" distribution directory which I called MGL-8.1 which contains the additional packages... I built MGL-8.1 by "duplicating" the structure of SuSE-8.1 and I believe it is correct as I can use it without problem with YaST2 as an additional distribution. I then organized the root of my NFS exported directory as indicated in the documentation (chapter 6) by creating the yast/order, etc... (See attachments...). When installing (booting a grub boot diskette with inst=IP://export the installation fails to locate the packages descr (from y2log, it is looking for ./suse/setup/descr). It seems that the content of the yast directory is just ignored (I can't find any mention of it in the logs) as the install does not find the SuSE-8.1 data. By the way, inst=IP://export/SuSE-8.1 works fine but, of course, does not handles my MGL-8.1 directory... Have I missed something??? Thanks in advance for any help...
