I have just started a fresh 42.3 install on my test desktop - I know I can't deselect grub2, but now I get this message:
These packages need to be selected to install: SuSEfirewall2, ntfs-3g, ntfsprogs Please manually select the needed items to install. I'm curious why you want those packages out. I think you said you used your own firewall script, but I thought that was on some machines. On these I thought you used "defaults".
Why they should block the install is also curious, but that is bugzilla matter.
You could do a "default install", then use a script stored somewhere to customize things.
What I cannot understand is why Per should be having this (other?) problem(s) when doing a clean install using a DVD is one of the most simplest things to do and without any dramas.
If your system-to-be-installed happens to have an NTFS filesystem, it looks like YaST insists on installing those ntfs utilities, regardless of whether you're mounting them. To recreate, install Leap 423 from DVD, deselect SuSEfirewall2, ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs.
Per, are you installing from a DVD or using some other method?
He boots an image from the network. PXE. It ends being the same DVD, but once installed he has to do several customizations. There are too many, so perhaps what he needs is autoyast.
autoyast is big gun with a steep learning curve. I don't really install often enough to warrant the full effort. However, what would be really cool is for an installation to fetch certain defaults, e.g. from a tftp server or similar, if available. i.e. a list of pre-set option: language, keyboard, timezone, userid+passwds, packages to include, packages to exclude. I think it might even be possible with autoyast, I have experimented a bit. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (1.3°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
