Any way to set the keyboard and the language independently?

how about? <general> <keyboard> <keymap>german</keymap> </keyboard> <language>de_DE</language> ... </general>

Isn't that what you want?

Not exactly, because this does not set the language on the console during the installation process, which I heavily use when debugging some problems. Also using the options in the control file seems to work only for the installed system after booting, but not for lilo. I use this in my profile: <keyboard> <keymap>english-us</keymap> </keyboard> <language>de_DE</language> but in lilo the keyboard is german. Only after booting the keyboard is english. So I thought that the lilo language could have been set by the Keytable: parameter in the info file. Anyway, in the meantime I figured out that I can set the language to en_US in the info file. This will make the console english. And with the profile settings, autoyast will switch to german messages after parsing the control file. So this is a workaround which is fine with me. I couldn't check if this will also solve the lilo problem, because I haven't got that far with 10.1a4 :-) Just curious if or why "Keytable:" was dismissed. If so, the docu should reflect this, I guess :-) cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.

Hi During suse 9.1 autoinstall (x86_64), as part of pre-install preparation, I use wget to retrieve files from my server. But it fails with the following message "Address family not supported by protocol". Heres wget command : wget /pub/file1">ftp://<ipaddr>/pub/file1 On stracing the operation ie "strace -fF wget ....", i found this error occurs while executing the "socket(IP_INET6,sock_stream,...)" function call. Is there any way to switch this to ipv4 ?? Also the /etc/hosts has "::1 ...." line for ipv6 addressing. Could this be the cause of the error ?? Any idea what could be the problem here ? thanks kanji --------------------------------- Yahoo! Photos Ring in the New Year with Photo Calendars. Add photos, events, holidays, whatever.

ya the syntax is ftp://IPADDR/pub/file1 . Looks like in my previous mail the text got incorrectly parsed by the mail reader, because i had typed "<ipaddr>" inplace of "IPADDR". The result turned out to be garbage. I had repeated the experiment with sles9, it works fine. But in suse 9.1, wget still returns the same error message. This happens only while executing from within the ramdisk. wget works fine if it is run from a system installed with suse 9.1. Moreover, the md5sum of these two are different though they are of the same version 1.9.1 thanks kanji Uwe Gansert <ug@suse.de> wrote: On Wednesday 04 January 2006 21:33, kanji linux wrote:

what kind of weird usage of wget is that? Isn't it just "wget ftp:///pub/file1"?

no but using wget during pre-install stage of autoyast actually is not a problem (you need network of course). -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-help@suse.com --------------------------------- Yahoo!

"--inet4" or -4 options are available in curl but not in the current version of wget. I and a colleague found similar issues with suse 9.3 too. We observed that in the ramdisk image, only /proc/sys/net/ipv4 is available ie no ipv6 module seems to be loaded. On the other hand, on a system installed with suse 9.3 (9.1) ipv6 is explicitly loaded as a module (also /proc/sys/net/ipv4 & ipv6 data is available). wget works fine in such an env . But if ipv6 is unloaded (ie rmmod -f ), wget fails and reports the same error "Address family not supported by protocol". Looks like lack of ipv6 module in ramdisk seems to be the problem. I may be wrong. Any ideas ?? I would like to avoid modifying suse ramdisk to insert another ftp client. thanks biju Uwe Gansert <ug@suse.de> wrote: On Thursday 05 January 2006 16:22, kanji linux wrote:

okay, I expected something like that but you never know.

the different MD5 sum might be. Have you tried to use "wget --inet4-only" or "wget -4"? (I hope that parameter exists on a 9.1 - I don't have a 9.1 installation at hand). -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-help@suse.com --------------------------------- Yahoo!
