Hi,

I have copied all cd's to hard-drive and made them available via NFS. Then I created a boot-disk and created the following info file in /suse/setup/descr on the bootdisk and on the installation media

Hi, I found the problem already. The linuxrc line in the syslinux.cfg file on the bootdisk stated auto2. I had to remove the 2 for it to work. However, currently yast crashes half way trough it. So I was wondering, how can I do an auto-install with the auto2 option or where can I find documentation about this ?? Maybe this doesn't crash on me and that would help me one step closer to my goal. With regards, David Claessens Anas Nashif wrote: the installation media in the same path as the info file
