rules

22 Jun 2006

      Hello everyone,

while i am a quite experiencied user of autoyast, it is the first time I 
use <rules>!

 From the docs I understand you should remove "autoyast=...", is it?. If 
I do this I get a manual installation, what seems reasonable as my new 
system knows nothing about where to fetch a control file!

If, alternatively, I pass a "autoyast=http://10.7.5.100/autoinstall/", 
being this directory both valid and the container of a unique xml file 
(control.xml), that is:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE autoinstall SYSTEM "/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/rules.dtd">
<autoinstall xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" 
xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns">
  <rules config:type="list">
    <rule>
      <mac>
        <match>*</match>
        <match_type>exact</match_type>
      </mac>
      <result>
        <profile>default.xml</profile>
        <continue config:type="boolean">true</continue>
      </result>
    </rule>
  </rules>
</autoinstall>

pls have in mind I am still testing, and with this file I only pretend 
to use the whole default.xml 
(http://10.7.5.100/autoinstall/rules/default.xml) but it doesn't work. 
By the way, default.xml is a complete, valid and working control file, 
that has been previously tested in a 
"autoyast=http://10.7.5.100/autoinstall/default.xml" installation.

Any help? Thanks in advance!
