Adding custom selections to a network installation source
Hi, I'd like to create some custom package selections so users that (re)install their machines would have an easier job doing so. We're going to use SuSE 10.1. Now since I don't have that many machines to install (up to 10/month) I don't really want to mess with whole autoinstall/autoyast deal. I tried 'the simple way' - created a couple of '.sel' files, added those to the file 'selections'. I also added MD5 sums to the MD5SUMS file (and corrected the sum for 'selections' file). Then I tried installing from this network source - boot the machine with the CD, setup the NFS installation source. But when it comes to package evaluation/selection, the installation cannot find any packages. The log file reveal complaints about corrupted installation source... Is there a right way to do this? Thanks, Danilo

if you change the content file, you break the digital signature in content.asc and you have to resign it then. Since you can't resign it with the SUSE Key, you need to put your own gpg key into the initrd -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de/~ug
