Todd, Thanks for the reply. I think what's going on is that you're installing 9.2 or something other than SLES9, and this was the source of my confusion... After discussing this last week, I think some of us concluded that your script simply wouldn't work on SLES9... I have noted that the network is not yet operational during the post-install scripting execution environment of SLES9 when I was working with it a couple of months ago. I think it is necessary to either bring up the network in the script via ifconfig ethX up (Andreas suggested this, I have not tried it myself), or you can simply wget the files that you need during a chroot-script instead and store them on the disk for when you need it (in /mnt, that is, which becomes root during post-install). Best wishes. -----Original Message----- From: Ness, Todd [mailto:todd.ness@eds.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 9:38 AM To: suse-autoinstall@lists.suse.com Subject: RE: [suse-autoinstall] post-install scripts I am doing http installs i.e. install=http://1.1.1.1/directory/CD1 autoyast=http://1.1.1.1/install/autoinstall.xml Either in the info file or on the boot cd command line. -----Original Message----- From: Suffin, Charles [mailto:Charles.Suffin@stratus.com] Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 9:26 AM To: 'Andreas.Matthieu@tfa.brandenburg.de'; Suffin, Charles; suse-autoinstall@lists.suse.com Subject: RE: [suse-autoinstall] post-install scripts What you're saying is great, guys (thanks!), but Todd's post-install script in his XML fragment does not do network initialization (I think) before executing wget. I do not understand why his script works... Thanks! -- Charlie p.s./ I didn't mean to rathole Mitko's original email!

OK, I'd swear I was unable to use http: during my post-install scripts (when I did my testing), but maybe I goofed.

I found that the post-install scripting environment -- which runs after the reboot -- didn't have networking set up yet (whereas chroot scripts run before the reboot and have the network running). Do you guys (Todd) do some magic to enable the network for the operation of post-install scripts so you could use wget? What I do is use wget during chroot scripts and store the files in /mnt/... (which gets mounted as root after the reboot). -- Charlie -----Original Message----- From: Ness, Todd [mailto:todd.ness@eds.com] Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 9:31 AM To: suse-autoinstall@lists.suse.com Subject: RE: [suse-autoinstall] post-install scripts Just a thought, I wrote a post-install wrapper that gets scripts via wget and those scripts are S01name.. S20name and then executes them serially similar to rc startup scripts. -----Original Message----- From: Anas Nashif [mailto:nashif@suse.de] Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 7:15 AM To: Mitko Haralanov Cc: suse-autoinstall@lists.suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-autoinstall] post-install scripts They are executed in the order they appear in the XMl file.

I have recently started working on a autoyast configuration file for

SuSE9.1. In the process of generating the file, I have created several post-install scripts which configure different parts of the system. The question that I have is: what is the order in which the scripts are going to be executed? Currently some of the post-install scripts depend on others and I need to be sure in what order they will be executed.

Thanx
