Location of yast config files (Slightly OT)
Hi list, can anyone tell me where Yast stores hardware settings? I moved my cdrom from /dev/hdb to /dev/hdc. Unfortunately, yast keeps looking for hdb to install software from. I've manually copied the files I needed and installed them, but in the future it would be nice to know where to look for the config files. I saw a CDrom entry in /var/lib/YaST2/install.inf, but changing that doesn't appear to work. TIA Stefan

Doesn't that work if you just change the "Installation medium" ? Ciao Eduard __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Health - Feel better, live better http://health.yahoo.com
No, you can choose "CDROM" as your installation medium, but you can't change the location of the CDROM. Eduard Avetisyan wrote:

Ciao Eduard
I have been watching this thread with interest, As I have also had this same
difficulty on SuSE 8 on several different machines. For the life of me I could
not figure out how to change the type of cdrom. I changed /dev/cdrom
I changed /etc/fstab
I looked all though Yast2
Buggered if I know!
As I grumbled in a previous posting this problem and the inability of Yast2 to
duplicate an installed package listing correctly from one machine to another
means I am not yet deploying 8.0 servers as much as I love the rest of SuSE 8's
features.
(The other gripe I had in my previous post was solved with the "chkconfig"
command..)
Can we get an answer (and/or patch to yast2) from SuSE for this??
