Hello to you, I'm a system administrator and I just try to install Linux on my Computerpool with AutoYast, before I did it years ago with master images. I try to write the configfile (autoinst.xml) by hand, because AutoYast doesn't produce that what I need. Questions: 1. Is it only possible to test a created configfile's during install on a test machine? Is there no development enviroment or something else? At the moment I only do a xml check with tidy. Problem: I have got completly similar computers expect the harddisc's. There are three Western Digital WD400EB (20.000 logical sectors) and fifteen Western Digital WD400BB (4800 logical sectors). This difference causes a problem with region tags in partition part of Configfile. How can I do a harddisc check as rule to create the region tags? I need similar partitions to write the old image to it. --- Thx for helping Ralf Neugebauer Fachhochschule Osnabrück Albrechstr. 30 49076 Osnabrück Tel. (0541) 969-3673 Fax.
