Next SuSE release, SuSE 8.1
Hi Anas,
I hope, there will be a maintenance release for 8.0 too. We have bought the 8.0 release, but for our hardware configuration (lvm with 2 disks) the autoinstall just doesn't work. However, I do not see any other reason why we should switch to 8.1.
I did not suggest you should switch. Automated installation, or short
autoyast2 is not an independent product. It's part of YaST2 which is
part of any Box release. New features come with every new release.
And the question that was raised concerned new features..
With regard to the LVM Problem, I did not want to fix the existing code
in 8.0 and prefered till I had a better implementation and then backport
it to 8.0. Yesterday I came to that point, a bit late and sorry about
that.
There is a new RPM in
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/nashif/autoyast2/RPMS/
it's still a release candidate
(yast2-module-autoinst-2.5.27rc1-0.noarch.rpm) and would be ofrficially
released only if it works for everyone..
Please let me know.
Anas
