I'm trying to set up an automated installation CD for standalone PCs. With

this CD I would like to perform some steps of the installation process manually There is an excellent article about autoinstall in the german magazine 'Linux-Magazin' 10/02 (just as a hint to german readers). To do some things manually you have to add the following to your autoinst.xml (if you don't know what that is, look at www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall): <general> <mode> <confirm config:type="boolean">true</confirm> </mode> </general> Language selection (in this example for Germany): <general> <hwclock>localtime</hwclock> <keyboard>german</keyboard> <language>de_DE</language> <timezone>Europe/Berlin</timezone> </general> BUT, there is a problem/bug. You can change the values of the first install-screen (i.e language, software installation, mouse) but you never get to see the second round where you specify root password, network device, sound etc. Instead you get a b/w barebones login screen, where you can login as root (with password empty). The hardware recognition will present you with some of the missing configuration choices, others, like root password and screen resolution configuration you have to start by yourself. After that reboot (or possibly reset X-server, didn't try that) to get the normal login screen. My guess is that confirm=true is ignored by the second stage installer. Holger.
