Hi, I am hoping to find a method where I can use generic VMware template/clone and then use Autoyast to apply specific requirements per usage.
I found the write-up on ayast_setup (http://hedgehogpainter.livejournal.com/2568.html), but that isn't a module listed when I run "yast -l". So, I tried loading a xml profile through "yast autoyast" , however, the "Apply to system" is not selectable.
What am I missing?
This is on SLES11sp1. Thanks,

Well, I might have found part of the issue with the "Apply to system" not being selectable -- I'm trying to setup a new disk and partitions and just found this -- http://suse.gansert.net/?cat=3&paged=2 -- which says partitioning is not allowed. I appreciate the need to 'protect', however, it completely removes autoyast from being functional for this need.
I would still like to understand why ayast_setup isn't available even if I can't use it.

I have to admit, I'm not really sure what you want to achieve.
how did you use it? yast2 ayast_setup setup filename=/tmp/my.xml is the usage and if you are using SLES11, that should work if you have the autoyast2.rpm installed (and you have, because you can start the autoyast UI) No matter what "yast -l" says, the module is installed.
If I read correctly, you want to do partitioning with that. That's not possible with ayast_setup. The partitioning code in autoyast was developed to work in the 1st stage of the installation and ayast_setup to run in the second stage.
