I need to only format a couple of disks, mount them and place a few files in one of the partitions. I already have an autoyast XML that does what I want, partition-wise.

Is it possible to just apply the partitioning scheme to the disks with AutoYaST? No software installation at all.

I don't understand why you want to use autoyast for that. Because you don't want to install packages, it seems you already have a running and installed system. Why don't you format those disks from your running system? I don't see the reason for autoyast here if you just want to format some partitions and copy files. Anyway. What distro are you using? maybe a postpartitioning script can do it (it's available since openSUSE 11.2). Umount everything under /mnt in it and do a "reboot -f" -- 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
