[opensuse-autoinstall] remove-packages section
Hi all, Does anyone know how the remove-packages section is determined? We are installing OES2 and SLES servers and the default generated autoyast profile contained the section at the end of this email. All we did was remark the NCS package, as stated in the documentation. This has been running fine on all my customers hardware and on VMware in both 32 and 64 bits machines. Now however, we have a new DL360 G5 machine and the installer fails. It tunrs out I need to remark the following 3 packages as well to fix it: <package>numactl</package> <package>mcelog</package> <package>linux32</package> Needless to say, this took some time to figure out.... My question is how this list is determined and if it is save to leave the entire <remove-packages config:type="list"> section out, so the server can determine it for itself. HRV <remove-packages config:type="list"> <package>mDNSResponder</package> <package>gnome2-SLES</package> <package>evolution</package> <package>gnome2-SuSE</package> <!-- <package>novell-cluster-services-kmp</package> --> <package>pfmon</package> <package>sles-preparation-power_en</package> <package>sles-preparation-zseries_en</package> <package>powerpc32</package> <package>s390-32</package> <package>s390-tools</package> <package>salinfo</package> <package>pdisk</package> <package>numactl</package> <package>mcelog</package> <package>libpfm</package> <package>linux32</package> </remove-packages> Hans-Robert Vermeulen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

autoyast is reading out all installed patterns and all installed packages. If packages that are part of a pattern are missing, they are added to the <remove-packages ...> section. If you don't remove any packages on your own, you can drop the complete "remove-packages" section from your profile. -- 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: Wreath Of Barbs (Album Mix) by :Wumpscut: -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
I've found that you can remove all but the patterns section, unless there are specific packages you want to include.
