Sorry to rehash an old thread.... I'm a little confused how to: 1. start with a clean 8.1 install tree 2. move the 8.1 updates into the tree 3. update the package_desc stuff to be consistient Is there a basic summary of this process somewhere? I see the creat_package_descr script in my 8.1 tree. I'm just not sure how to do steps #2 and #3 listed above. Any pointers? eric Anas Nashif wrote:

For 8.1, which should be available by now, we have included a script to do this. Format has changed and it is much more powerfull. Just curious: what's the name of the script? Thx, Jörg

/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/create_package_descr

I believe I need to use lilo instead of grub since all of my drives are under hardware SCSI RAID (dpt_i2o) (otherwise system hangs during boot after install). My first thoughts on how to do this, is to use: <bootloader> <activate config:type="boolean" >false</activate> <linear config:type="boolean" >false</linear> <parameters></parameters> </bootloader> and then: <chroot-scripts config:type="list" > <script> <filename>lilo.sh</filename> <interpreter>shell</interpreter> <source> <![CDATA[ #!/bin/sh lilo -b /dev/sda ]]> </source> </script> </chroot-scripts> I am unfamiliar with using lilo without it's lilo.conf file, but I am going to try testing the above and variations of it until I get it working (hopefully). Does anybody have a better suggestion or tips? Thanks, John Young
