Perfect! If autoyast actually created a valid document that I could validate, or if there was a DTD available, I would not have these issues.

Thanks! ~Paul

Is there an easy way to automatically append an option to the default kernel that is installed? Or do I need to hack at this with some perl?

What about: ================ <bootloader> <activate config:type="boolean">true</activate> <global> <default></default> <embed_stage1.5 config:type="boolean">false</embed_stage1.5> <gfxmenu>/boot/message</gfxmenu> <prompt>1</prompt> <timeout config:type="integer">8</timeout> </global> <loader_device></loader_device> <loader_type>grub</loader_type> <location>mbr</location> <repl_mbr config:type="boolean">true</repl_mbr> <sections config:type="list"> <section> <append> splash=silent showopts ***MYOPTIONS*** </append> <initrd>/boot/initrd</initrd> <kernel>/boot/vmlinuz</kernel> <name>SuSE 10.1</name> <original_name>linux</original_name> <root></root> <type>image</type> <vga></vga> </section> </sections> </bootloader> ================

You can create this also with "yast2 autoyast", of course.
