Autoinstallation and SuSE 8.2 Pro
Hi everyone, I have been trying to install SuSE 8.2 using autoyast2 for the past couple of days. It worked with SuSE 9.0 but I'm having trouble with 8.2. I set up a repository from the 5 CDs provides with the SuSE distribution under /repository/suse/8.2, ran the following command: /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/create_package_descr -d /repository/suse/8.2/suse and shared it using nfs. This server is the pxe/tftp server as well as the nfs and dhcp server. I start the test machine, it goes through the configuration, formatting and installation process. Once it reboots the first time, it tries to install more packages and that is when it asks me to insert "CD 2". My question is, why doesn't it retrieve the rest of the packages from the nfs mount? This issue didn't happen with the SuSE 9.0 automated installation. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Mouncef

not reallly, this is more for sles configurations.. Mouncef, how did you copy the CDs, are all in the same directory or do you have seperate dirs for every CD? You have to copy them all into one directory if you wish to run the create_package_descr command, otherwise you dont need to run it, unless you change the packages. Anas
