Re: [suse-autoinstall] network configuration
the better solution would be probably to keep autoyast.xml on a server and point to it from grub i.e. autoyast=nfs://192.168.0.1/suse/autoyast_box1.xml another option would be to include a piece of code in the post-install script to set the IP based on the address used for installation. This way you would have one autoyast.xml and you would boot with the 'hostip=' option in this case your boot command would look something like this autoyast=nfs://192.168.0.1/suse/autoyast.xml hostip=192.168.0.133 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.0.254 thanks, Marcin Kurc Linux Impact Team Novell, Inc (973) 493-6235

Hello! I have to install 40+ workstations with autoyast procedure. I've prepared self-made CD with autoyast.xml control file, try it and it works fine. But there is trouble with network card configuration. Because each worskstation has it's own IP, does it mean that I have to make CD for each workstation? I've tried with control file on floppy, but it doesn't work at all.

Marcin: Can't you use DHCP to assign IP numbers? Perhaps even next to a network boot? Without a network boot, you would have to put autoyast=<remote_location_of_autoyast.xml> install=<remote_location_of_9.1_source_tree> With a network boot, you could load pxegrub or nbgrub, and put the above line in a GRUB menu entry.
