Yeah, that works like Ghost or PowerQuest to make an image from a preconfigured system. This auto-install package for SuSE uses a configuration file written in XML to auto configure the machine prior to the first login. I just need some assistance with the configuration of the XML script to autoconfigure some settings. Brad Bourn wrote:

Does anyone have any experience using the SuSE firstboot or autoinstall scripts used to automate rolling out images?

You are not the first one I hear complaining of a similar problem, but I don't know the answer. But I was going to mention some other thing: You are hijacking threads, and because of that, your emails get sorted amongst those of last month. It makes more dificult for people to answer your questions. Please, don't hijack.
