Hi all, is there any way how to set/modify location of installation directory during AutoYaST Pre-installation phase (equivalent to 'install=ftp://....' in linuxrc) ? I want to modify/set it using AutoYaST pre-installation scripts. I've found something here: http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/invoking_autoinst.html#id329313 chapter 'Combining linuxrc info file with YaST2 control file' but according to http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/Profile.Format.html <install> element is deprecated from SLE 10.0. Thanks in advance for any idea, Stanley -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

no unfortunately, that's not possible. autoyast pre-scripts run quite early but too late for that. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug listening to: "What a Tragedy" by Dismantled -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

Uwe, It means, that there is no way how to set/modify 'install=' parameter using AutoYaST profile? Thanks very much, Stanley

that's right. You can not switch the installation source It's on my TODO but not yet implemented -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

Note that while you can't do it via autoyast, it is possible to make changes to the installation source using the Exec: option in linuxrc. The command run by Exec: runs early enough that it can make changes to the content of the info file and have the new values used by linuxrc. We use that functionality to use one set of boot media globally that automatically selects the nearest regional install server.

Thanks very much!
