Novell stole my documentation! (or, "how do I use the 'custom' rule type?")
Okay, so I went to go read up on rules documentation, and discovered that http://yast.suse.com/ now redirects to http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?yast. And that I need to sign up for an account to actually read any of the docs there. And they seem to be SLES-specific, and I'm autoyast'ing SuSE Pro 9.3 machines. Sigh. In any case: I've got about 8 different distinct types of machines. Different disk configs, different uses and thus different package selections, and so on. I'd like to set up a custom rule that matches based on the DHCP-assigned hostname and/or the last octet of the IP address (ie, database machines are in the .12X range of the subnet, and have hostnames like "database-4". I want the rules file to give them a particular config by matching either the ".12" or the "database-"). Looking at the most recent docs that I have available (boo!), Rev. 1.1.6.4 from June 11, 2004, it looks like I'm going to have to resort to a custom rule. But there's no hint of how to put together a custom rule in the aforementioned doc. So, yeah -- my question (there had to be one here somewhere....): Does anyone have either of - A location for more recent docs that explain how to set up a custom rule; or - an example of using a custom rule that I might be able to look over? Thanks! - Ian

try this one: http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/rulesandclass.html#customrules It's the very latest documentation and I have added the custom rules documentation + example there. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
