during an manuall installation of suse 8.0 i found a couple of configuration-files in /tmp.
What configuration file exactly?
there are some files in directories called /tmp/YaST2-xxxx. i cant remember the names exactly ... e.g. partitioning.??? . the content looks like input for yast2-modules. but these are not xml files.
are there plans to implement a "simulation" mode for a yast2-installation. as a result you get an xml file (or something different) for an autoinstallation.
I am not sure I understand what you mean with 'simulation'! A cloning feature of an existing system might make it into the next version, is that what you mean?
cloning sounds good. i mean the next step: like a common installation for a new system (but in "usermode"), with partitioning, metadevices, lvm, package-selection, timezone .... but the result is an autoinstall.xml to put on an installation server. so you use the same-installation routine as on the installation-cdrom for an manual installation but at the end you dont really do a new installation, you only have your xml file. i think the installation routine for suse 8.0 is comfortable, why don´t use it in the autoinstall-module? regards, andi -- Andreas Kurz IT-Services INFONOVA GmbH Seering 6 A-8041 Unterpremstätten Tel: +43 (0)316/ 8003 - 2933 Fax: +43 (0)316/ 8003 - 1080 mailto:andreas.kurz@infonova.at Web: http://www.infonova.at _______________________________________________________ Dieses E-Mail enthält vertrauliche Informationen.
