Yes, control file is the XML file generated by AutoYaST or by the cloning at the end of the installation.
that is very good, thank you.
Now, one or two more "can it do this" questions, and if the answer is yes, I'll go to the docs to figure out the HOW:
1)if I want to do a basic install, then set some environment values perhaps, or add in a package or two that were forgotten in the original install, can I create the autoyast.xml at this point so that it captures these changes? (again, I don't want or need all the complexity of an install source on the network, etc ... I just want to be able to duplicate and automate a few installs using the xml file on a floppy and the dvd installation method)
You can always edit the autoyast.xml file by hand. In fact, it was designed from the beginning to support hand-editting.
2)will this procedure still "identify" hardware? So, for example, if I want an exact duplicate package selection and disk partitioning, but the monitor is different, or the system board is different, etc ... will the auto installs using autoyast.xml work for this?
Yes. That's the real beauty of AutoYaST and also its curse. Because you need testing to see if everything went fine - just to warn you beforehand. Stano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
