Well the trouble is rarely any new computer has a floppy built in today. But I tried with an older host and put my very simple configuration from my initial mail on the floppy and when starting the installation I said autoyast=floppy.
You could boot on a USB-stick too, make the stick bootable with syslinux and put the installer-kernel and initrd there too. Works fine here. You can even use the same stick for several linux versions/distributions, and have a rescue system on it too. It would be really nice if it was enough to supply the path to the xml-file and not the installation-area. The installation area could me a tag in the xml-file. (I think I read something about that in version 10?) / Daniel
