Hi, I have managed to setup a nfs /tftp based autoinstall server with using pxelinux (syslinux package). I can now install machines as if i where installing them from cdrom, with autoyast able to have prebuilt customizations to machines. I am running into a problem now though. I would like to add custom RPM´s to the distribution (like oracle client libraries, and some custom font rpms). All the documentation i was able to find states just place the rpmś into the custom directory and in the autoyast xml file add the extra_packages term, though this doesn´t seem to work. As also every time i load the file again in the <yast autoyast> editor it overwrites this and takes it out. Is there any better documentation out there that i could use to add custom RPM packages to the autoinstall tree and be able to select it aswell as install it directly via autoyast?
Please let me know Thanks S.
Wht release are you trying to install? You seem to be using some old documentation...
