Hi Ajay 1) Even an class.xml file must contain the header and footer for an autoinstall XML File Example: ( I do not know if its valid or not ) <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE autoinstall SYSTEM "/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/rules.dtd"> <autoinstall xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns"> ... ... </autoinstall> So your example is missing them. The best is to take the lines from your autoinst.xml file 2) Have you checked your rules.xml Be carefull with the <continue config:type="boolean">false</continue> because my example is pretty simple ( It does not use AND or OR logic for rules ) and after that no rules are processed any further. so you might post also your rules.xml 3) Check the Yast-Log files ( I think you will find the log after installation at /var/log/Yast2 ) and also look at /var/adm/autoinstall/cache/InstalledSystem.xml because it should be your merged final control/autoinstall file. 4) Latest Documenation for autoyast http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/rulesandclass.htm hth Hajo ============================ Hans-Joachim Ehlers UNIX Systems Engineer EUMETSAT Am Kavalleriesand, 31 64295, Darmstadt, Germany Tel : +49 6151 807-7307 mailto:hansjoachim.ehlers@eumetsat.int http://www.eumetsat.int then 500MB RAM. Therefore I assumed largeswap.xml and autoinst.xml files should have been be merged to create the final control file. The contents of largeswap.xml file in my case are: $ cat largeswap.xml <partition> <crypt>twofish256</crypt> <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> false <mount>swap</mount> 130 primary <size>2000mb</size> </partition> $ ..... and rest everything is defined in autoinst.xml. However after installation was over I saw all the partitions except swap. Please let me know if I did anything wrong or misunderstood somewhere. Regards, Ajay
