[opensuse-autoinstall] 11.0 autoinstall using images
Hi, is it possible to use images (as opposed to installing every rpm) in a 11.0 autoyast installation? Is there something I have to write into my autoyast.xml file? -- TIA, Andreas Vetter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

what kind of images do you mean? The pre defined ones that were invented in openSUSE 11.0 or self created generic images? The SUSE provided images can be used by autoyast with openSUSE 11.1 / SLES11 but not with openSUSE 11.0 Documentation will come soon with the next alpha of openSUSE were that feature will be activated. About generic images, since openSUSE 10.2 there is an experimental feature for generic images: http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_changes_10_1-10_2.html but it's not tested very well ... that's why I call it experimental and not really officially supported. If you want to test that, I would really appreciate feedback. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug listening to: "Meds (feat VV of The Kills)" by Placebo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

Interesting. Now it is time for me to display my ignorance. Is there a description of images somewhere? Googling "suse install from images" was a bit too unspecific. Using the 11.0 install as an example (normal, not autoyast), how many images are there? One per RPM? If I choose to install from images, and I select various RPMs other than the default, what images would be used?

openSUSE 11.0 has 11 images available You can see them on DVD1 in the directory "images"
One per RPM?
no :) One image per common usecase

that depends. As much as possible is covered by images and the rest is done by normal RPMs. We have a lot of packages more than one time on the media. One time as RPM and then in one (maybe more) images again. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team 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
