One question I still have is if it is possible to use an autoyast profile in a way that yast don't try to install any packages ? it even shouldn't try to check or setup a repo because the software is all there by design of the image description
that's a little bit problematic. In the second stage of the installation (after the reboot) autoyast asks every client that is configured in the XML file (like for example users_auto.ycp): "What packages do you need to be installed?" and collects those package names. Then it checks if any of those packages is already installed (I think that triggers the repo check already, because Autoyast asks the Packager). Then inst_rpmcopy.ycp is called in the second stage and that client tries to install those packages. It always calls: Pkg::DoProvide (AutoinstSoftware::post_packages) which initializes the packager again. So on the first sight with the current code, I don't see an option to turn that off without changing code. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
