Hi,

I'm trying to set up a partially automated installation CD, where several fixed parameters are taken from the profile and the rest are asked to the user during the installation process. I've included the following entries in my XML profile in order to use the "confirm" mode during automated installation: ... <mode> <upgrade config:type="boolean">false</upgrade> <confirm config:type="boolean">true</confirm> <interactive_boot config:type="boolean">false</interactive_boot> <reboot config:type="boolean">false</reboot> </mode> ...

Everything works all right in the first part of the installation process: The XML is read and a confirmation page appears to let you make changes or configure the items that were not included in the profile. The problem comes in the second stage of the installation: There is no confirmation page during the configuration process, so only the items included in the profile are configured and there is no opportunity to make changes or configure additional devices.

My questions are: Is this a bug in the automated installer or am I configuring something wrong? If it's a bug, is there any patch or upgrade to fix it?

This is no bug. And it is intended to work so. If you need the second proposal page with misc. hardware then you mostly dont need the autoinstallation at all! Anas

Thanks in advance,
