Hi,
A few questions about NFS installs with AutoYaST and SuSE 8.0:
1) How can I use the graphical configuration tool to specify non-ReiserFS partitions that I want mounted but not formatted?
How do you want to mount a non-formatted partition? To mount a partition it has to have a valid filesystem. Or are you trying to do something else?
If I don't tick the "Format" box, then no filesystem type is written to the XML file, and the install assumes ReiserFS and then fails because the partitions are of the wrong type.
2) To whom do I talk to get table 5-2 in the documentation about the autoyast boot command line variable "autoyast=nfs://<server>:<path>" fixed (that second ":" should be a "/"', as has been mentioned on this list before)? This caused me a bit of grief :( Fixed.
3) Where the documentation says in 4.6.2 about customized packet selection:
Beside the pre-defined selections, you can create custom selections by providing a customized selection file in the selection directory.
Where is the "selection directory"? Does anybody have an example of what exactly to do to create and use your own customized packet selection? When I tried it, either the install barfed on installing the kernel (error 1 returned from the installation of "k_deflt"), or my customizations were ignored.
Selection directory is in suse/setup/descr on the CDs. Selections end with .sel. A selection should have no conflicts and dependent packages should be added as well, if it cant be resolved automatically by rpm. k_deflt normally should not be included in the selection. Kernel is supplied using another resource in the control file. Anas
TIA,
Phil T
