Dear everybody, I am using: (SuSE 9.1): autoyast2-installation-2.9.34-1 autoyast2-2.9.34-1 autoyast2-utils-2.9.34-1 I try to use seperate config.files to compose configurations for autoyast I set up as explained in another mail here: /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/ /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/rules /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/AC127F57 /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/hatti.xml /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/classes /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/classes/AllHosts /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/classes/AllHosts/Allhosts.xml /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/classes/Familie /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/classes/Familie/X11Config.xml /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/classes/Familie/partion.xml /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/classes/Familie/3c59c.xml /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/classes/BaseSoftware /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/classes/BaseSoftware/BaseSoftware.xml /var/lib/autoinstall/repository/templates AC127F57, the configuration I use looks this way: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE profile SYSTEM "/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/profile.dtd"> <profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns"> <install> <classes config:type="list"> <class> <class_name>AllHosts</class_name> <configuration>AllHosts.xml</configuration> </class> <class> <class_name>BaseSoftware</class_name> <configuration>BaseSoftware.xml</configuration> </class> <class> <class_name>Familie</class_name> <configuration>X11Config.xml</configuration> </class> <class> <class_name>Familie</class_name> <configuration>3c59c.xml</configuration> </class> <class> <class_name>Familie</class_name> <configuration>partion.xml</configuration> </class> </classes> </install> </profile> All * .xml have been created with the yast2 autoinstall feature. (partion.xml by hand (uses the fstab partition option, not available in yast2 autoinstall)) ->If I use AC127F57 to autoinstall, the system is installed as described in BaseSoftware.xml, X11Config.xml, 3c59c.xml and partition.xml BUT Allhosts.xml seems to be ignored and named is unexpectedly configured, though I didnt configure it in any file. ->If I use the yast2 autoinstall "classe merge feature" merging offline AllHosts.xml, BaseSoftware.xml, X11Config.xml, 3c59c.xml and partition.xml the resulting Installation file works as expected also all of Allhosts.xml, however, named ist configured and started see above. ->Is there a chance to "see" the result of the online merge process of autoinstall ? ->Why does autoinstall try to start named, ??? ->yast2 talks about priorities of classes, however, there is no priority to be seen either in documentation nor in the syntax of AC127F57. Whatsoever all my *.xml are non redundant, that means things are configured only once. So priorities or the sequence how the files are merged should'nt make any difference. (For mathmaticians: the Intersection of all files is empty). -- Dipl. Phys. F.Mueller EPCOS AG Surface Acoustic Wave Components Division SAW RD CAD P.O.
