In the case of binary file, It would be a better idea to either package them and install the package, or retrieve them over the network, eg. with wget. Having binary in XML should work if you encode the files, but this is an overkill... Anas Pierre Allix wrote:

Hello,

I read that we can dumped file into the system (http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/9.1/html/createprofile.completeconf.h...) during installation. I want to dump a binary file (.tar.gz). Should I create my own RPM ? encode the file in BASE64 in a cdata section and use a script to decode it ? or is there an easier way ?

Thanks, Pierre
