Configuring SLES 9 autoinstall with new RPMs
Hello, I've created a SUSE auto install server and have configured it to apply SP3 during the install process. Now I need to configure it to allow me to copy new and updated RPMs into a folder and apply them when necessary. For example, I want to deploy the newest version of Bastille to each new server I build and then create a post install script that runs Bastille to lockdown the server right during install. In a month I may decide I need to put the newest version of perl in the install directory and have it automatically deployed. In other words this needs to be a solution where I can just copy RPMs into the updates folder and have them be applied. So far I've created an updates directory in the root install directory and have configured the instorder and order files to look in the updates folder like follows: /updates /sles9sp3/cd1 /sles9/cd1 /core9/cd1 I've copied the newest Bastille rpm into the updates folder, but when the auto install runs I get an error that says "reading media description failed". Any ideas on where am I going wrong? Thanks, -Tim Spangler
