classes

22 Jul 2003

      Hello,

I am using SLES 8 with autoyast. So far it works very well. But I didn´t
understand, how to use "classes".

I managed to to create different classes with different configurations in
this classes. Using yast2 autoyast, I am able to create a new XML file for
the normal repository for a new maschine. Insted of merging the classes,I
can build a XML file which uses the defined classes. A XML file looks like:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE profile SYSTEM "/usr/share/YaST2/include/autoinstall/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>Custom</class_name>
        <configuration>User</configuration>
      </class>
      <class>
        <class_name>Serverhardware</class_name>
        <configuration>HP_Vectra_430</configuration>
      </class>
      <class>
        <class_name>Software</class_name>
        <configuration>Minimalserver</configuration>
      </class>
    </classes>
  </install>
</profile>

But if I try to install an new maschine with this XML file, an error
occures. I think, the installer doesn´t find it´s class files. Where do I
have to put the class files ?

I use something like this:
install=nfs://1.2.3.4/export/install/SLES8
autoyast=nfs://1.2.3.4/export/install/SLES8/profiles
