All information regarding installation are stored in /etc/install.inf. This file is copies at the end of the installation to /var/lib/YaST2. Using this file, you can determine how the installation was done. Anas Ryan Allen wrote:

Hi list!

I've got a complete working installation system with autoyast - but only if it's being served by NFS (after PXE boot the client) or on a burned CD.

The problem is, because of limitation with the network in our office, we have to use HTTP after PXE booting. I have some chroot install scripts that copy over a few .tgz files off the NFS server (or the CD) and un-tar them in a post install script. With HTTP, "cp" doesn't work, and I have to do an HTTP GET.

I'd like to have one autoyast.xml file handle all three situations.

So my questions are:

1) Is there a way to determine which type of installation is taking place during chroot script environment? (is it CD or PXE/NFS or PXE/HTTP?)

2) If it is HTTP, how does one obtain the server address, and the path to the root of the install tree during chroot

Much appreciation for any help I can get!

Thanks,
