Hi, as I posted earlier, <location>nfs:// </location> does not work for chroot scripts, since autoyast mounts the directory specified in <location> at /mnt, where the installed system was already mounted. Thus, autoyast cannot copy the chroot scripts into the installed system... Here's a workaround: - assume we have the scripts in /rpm/autoyast/9.1/scripts/ where /rpm/autoyast/9.1/ is our autoyast directory with rules/ subdir etc. - you should have "autoyast=nfs://192.168.0.1/rpm/autoyast/9.1" defined, e.g. in the info file on on the append line in pxelinux.cfg. If you don't install over nfs and don't have such a line, it doesn't make sense to get the chroot scripts via nfs... - the autoyast line will cause the variable "$autoyast" to be defined with the value defined above in the environment where the chroot scripts run. Thus, we just write a little chroot script which mounts the scripts dir to some different directory: <scripts> <chroot-scripts config:type="list" > <script> <!-- <interpreter>shell</interpreter> <location>nfs://141.84.1.131/rpm-export/autoyast/9.1/scripts/prepare_pos t.script</location> --> <filename>prepare-post.sh</filename> <source><![CDATA[ #!/bin/bash mkdir /mnttmp || exit 1 # mount the autoyast dir from the server. we just splitt the # value "autoyast=nfs://..." along the / characters mount `echo $autoyast| cut -d/ -f 3-3`:/`echo $autoyast| cut -d/ -f 4-` /mnttmp || exit 1 # now you can access all of your scripts in /mnttmp. E.g.m copy # them to /mnt/var/adm/autoinstall/scripts like AY would do it, # or execute them directly from the /mnttmp dir. umount /mnttmp ]]> </source> </script> </chroot-scripts> </scripts> Thus, you can keep all of your chroot scripts in normal files (which makes it easier to debug) and still get them via nfs, until the bug in autoyast is fixed. You can also work with some other variables like the "install" variable or "Server" etc. Have fun :-) cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
