Hello everyone, In our company, we have several developers who are porting services to both RH AS and SLES 8. We have set up NFS installs for them to install these OSes for development and testing. There is a variety of hardware to install on so our installs must let the user setup hardware (video, partitioning, etc.) themselves. The RH install uses Kickstart and sets defaults in the install (timezone, additional packages, etc). We can set kickstart to be interactive so that the user can control most of the install (this is nice and perfect for our environment). Our SLES NFS install is currently working perfectly however, I don't see a way to change default install options and be interactive like a kickstart install. After reading about and testing some AutoYast2 installs, it seems to be completely automated and require things such as partitioning and other hardware specific choices to be predetermined. Is this true? Am I missing something? Can I set AutoYast2 to be interactive and just take defaults from it's config? Is there a better way? Maybe AutoYast is not the answer to my questions. Is there a way using AutoYast or other other method to change the install defaults, to do an NFS install but change some of the default options and do some extra things and remain interactive? I need to: * autodetect NIC and use DHCP for initial configuration during install * let the user set up hardware (partitioning, video, etc) * Let the user select or remove software packages if they choose * install some custom developed RPMs on the user's system regardless of their choice of profile or individual package selection. (I have added these packages to the installation according AUtoYast2 instructions). * preset the timezone * install a custom ntp.conf * add entries to their /etc/fstab for some nfs entries -- Marc Christensen http://www.mecworks.com
