RE: [suse-autoinstall] Installation from CD
Anas, Is it possible to get the installation process to find package descriptions on any media other than media.1? As soon as I changed the name from media.6 to media.1 it saw my package descriptions and selection files, of course the required rpms on the real media 1 were not there.

This is curios, I have the same suse/setup/descr/* files on the CD as the NFS repository. If anybody has any idea as to why the selections and software can not be found I would appreciate the help.

Example: I have a 5 disk set, I make my own rpms, I add some .sel files to suse/setup/descr, I make an info file in an initrd that installs via nfs, one for booting off cd and uses xml files located in /profiles of the initrd. Has a custom isolinux.cfg to choose which xml script to use. I then bundle all of that up into a bootable disk6 boot off of this disk, choose a boot menu choice. And then have it ask me to insert CD1?

Shall I assume that I may never get any help on this one? On Tue, 2004-03-09 at 06:30, Ness, Todd wrote:
