Hi Kurt, I suggest you do two things: 1- in your info file change : AutoYaST:ftp://autoinst.xml to AutoYaST:ftp://XX.XX.XX.XX/autoinst.xml where XX.XX.XX.XX stands for the ftp server ip address. 2- You can either check dierctly by adding AutoYaST=ftp://XX.XX.XX.XX/autoinst.xml in your current command line . if your command line is; for example kernel (nd)/linux install=nfs://192.168.0.59/home/suse82/ ip=192.168.0.230 netmask=255.255.255.0 change it to : kernel (nd)/linux autoyast=ftp://XX.XX.XX.XX/autoinst.xml install=nfs://192.168.0.59/home/suse82/ ip=192.168.0.230 netmask=255.255.255.0 where XX.XX.XX.XX stands for the ftp server ip address. It works on my system.

Hi all, normally autoinst.xml resides on the floppy. In the autoyast docu I found the description of the info file. There is an entry which seems to describe the location of autoinst.xml file. I tried to put a line in "info" (which resides in the root on the floppy): AutoYaST:ftp://autoinst.xml A ftp deamon (vsftpd) is running on the server which allows an anonymous login. autoinst.xml will be presented in the ftp ano-root directory. I assume that the same IP-Adress will be used as for the nfs-Server because there is no field in the info file which allows me to provide a separate ftp IP-Adresss. When yast2 tried to locate the autoinst.xml file I get an interactive dialog which offers me to choose several. I can type in what I want (nfs, tftp) autoinst.xml will not be found. nfs is running ok, otherwise yast2 will not go so far. Who can help me please?
