autoyast with pre partitioned harddisk
Hi, i have several problems with a pre partitioned harddisk and autoyast. This is the p. section: <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/hda</device> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ntfs</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">false</format> <mount>/mnt/C</mount> <partition_nr>1</partition_nr> </partition> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext2</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/boot</mount> <partition_nr>5</partition_nr> </partition> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/</mount> <partition_nr>6</partition_nr> </partition> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/var</mount> <partition_nr>7</partition_nr> </partition> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>swap</mount> <partition_nr>8</partition_nr> </partition> <partition> <create config:type="boolean">false</create> <filesystem config:type="symbol">vfat</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/mnt/D</mount> <partition_nr>9</partition_nr> </partition> </partitions> <initialize config:type="boolean">false</initialize> </drive> </partitioning> All partitions except partition one (ntfs) are NOT mounted during the installation. So the installation fails after the ram disk is full.... Any hints? thank you. greetings mario gzuk

<snip> Do not take this as a flame. It is intend to get you the best support for now and in the future. openSUSE is the comunity and SUSE is the distribution. This means that this openSUSE mailinglist is about the community. The mailinglist for technical help is on *suse-linux-e*

Please take a look at http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate to see wich list is exactly for what purpose. Again, this is not a flame. This is intended to bring you to the correct place so you will get better help _and_ to keep this list free from unwanted treads.

Attention "Houghi" After reading your comments to others daily, that include "Do not take this as a flame", I thought I would give you my personal point of view that your comments are yes, indeed inflammatory, and do nothing to really foster giving others the kind of help they come seeking. Take a hard close look at the lengthy mailing list and you'll see for yourself how others who may not even know anything about the terminologies, find same confusing. So then I ask, if you're really feeling so helpful, if you, (and or others) know the answer to the question that others pose, why not then go ahead and give it to them, and AFTER doing so, give them a kind pointer to what YOU consider to be the proper place to pose their questions. I've been hanging around the Linux community long before graphical access was available for the web, and am one of the original 100 beta testers for Red Hat. I also follow many different Linux related newsgroups, and have seen the kind of comments you throw out by others many times. And in doing so, IMHO, your actions do nothing to foster a friendly and helpful environment for those not familiar with the operating system and do nothing to encourage or foster a transition from other operating systems. It's close to, if not comparable, to those "mightier than thou" individuals that answer a query telling others to "go look it up for themselves" as "they" had to do when they learned the operating system. All this does is give others the impression that this is some kind of "closed" community, some kind of private club, once again, IMHO. I wonder if you're the officially appointed moderator of this group. Are you? Do you speak for everyone? If so, by what authority? So, Houghi, I'll say to you, what you say to others that come here seeking help. "Do not take this as a flame" and I'm sure that you'll accept it in the same warm fuzzy manner that you expect others to do of your words.

Just let me top this joke: I had one of the first redhat mirrors at ftp.gwdg.de, at a time where redhat was just about 3 people with a 28.8 kbit modem line. ;-)) Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)

Then please correct the terminologies that are confusing.

Because that would not be an icentive to go and post in the correct place. Instead it is a reason to ignore the advice and ask more questions. <snip>

By no means do I wish to say to look it up themselves. I merely point out the correct place to find said information and where to ask others. It is like learning a man to fish instead of giving him a fiish. <snip>
"Do not take this as a flame" and I'm sure that you'll accept it in the same warm fuzzy manner that you expect others to do of your words.
No need to say it as I do not see it as a flame. If the toning of the standard mail is in any way offencive or makes it unclear to what I want to say, then I am sorry and would love to see a correction, without changing the fact that it points out that this is not the correct place to ask the question. -- houghi http://houghi.org http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/ http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

I have added the extra line. It is indeed much clearer that way. Thanks. -- houghi http://houghi.org http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/ http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

As houghi said, your question is better asked elsewhere, e.g. on suse-autoinstall@suse.com . /Per Jessen, Zürich

We don't have a moderator - as we are a very unorganized and almost anarchistic community. But I believe Houghi speaks for most of us. It's important that we keep this list free of spam - and when notifying some people hopefully others will see it too. I also agree with you though - that if a short and easy answer to the question is possible, it would be all right to give that answer as well as directions to suse-linux-e. Martin / cb400f
