Hi,
What is the syntax in autoinst.xml to install ALL packages of the media (sles10 and sles11). In RedHat Linux "@Everything" directive in ks.cfg does this job. Is there something similar available?
Thanks, Ajay

sorry but there is nothing like that. You can install all software you want and then create a reference profile then with the autoyast UI. You'll get a software section you can use to install other machines.
This is exactly what I have been doing so far and thought something efficient should be there, but... :-(
Thanks, Ajay

Ajay,
It seems that Uwe just implemented a feature that will make what you asked easier to accomplish: http://ugansert.blogspot.com/2009/06/two-autoyast-features-by-one-char.html

that's right but you have to be a bit careful with that because some packages conflict (like postfix and sendmail, cups and lpd, ..). Even some patterns conflict (on SLES the SAP pattern with the oracle pattern).
If you have a good idea how to solve that automagically, let me know :)

Bad news for autoyast - every package/pattern conflict requires user intervention, so one can't really install everything without asking user any question if packages are selected for product media in such a way that some of them are mutually exclusive :(
B.
Is there a type of delay command for the NIC during the autoyast process?
In RHEL it would be nicdelay=XX and/or linkdelay=XX for machines that's having portfast issues.
Thanks Justin

the DHCPTimeout option should do it for you. I've had to use it in the past to allow for cases where the nic takes several seconds to get a proper link.

Alternatively, you can use a post-script in your AY profile that does nothing else that it sleeps for defined period of time, as described here: http://www.suse.de/~ug/AutoYaST_FAQ.html#aa
We used it in the past to workaround buggy NIC driver issues, where it takes ages for network to come up ...

The equivalent linuxrc option is netwait=XX
