Hi, This is a common and known issue with auto-installation in general. The easiest and cleanest way I can think of is serving the profile using a web server with php for example. If the profile is served, you can detect the client IP using PHP and do any needed modifications on the server using scripts on the web server. It should not be that difficult to create such a solution. As far as TFTP is concerned, I use atftp and it shows exactly what ws served in /var/log/messages.

Hi,
I'm having a "small" problem concerning PXE installation.
The installation and everything works fine
But as it comes to a reboot of the machine the installation starts again.
Ok that's still ok, because the pxe setup has to be changed to local boot for the client.
But I don't want to do it by hand, cause for more than 200 clients it is a litle bit to much work.
In the autoyast manual it is recommended to check the syslog for an initial transmitted RAM disk.
The problem is that I can't find the appropriate line, even if I start the tftp-servecie with -v option.
Could anyone give some advice, how to configure the tftpd and how to scan the syslog (example shell/perlscript ??)?
Any help would be appreciated.
cheers fp
