[opensuse] clone for autoyast is greyed out?
I'm slowly beginning to play a bit with autoyast and I noticed that the tickbox for "Clone config for auto-yast" is greyed out on the last window in phase 2 of the installation? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

If you do not select "autoyast" while at package selection during installing, the box remains later on greyed-out. However, when you install autoyast later on, you can still create a reference XML-file. This is a difference between open* and SLE, where autoyast is automagically included. I mentioned it long ago, and "the poweres that be" decided that autoyast was less likely to be used by community users, hence autoyast is normally not installed. When a new release is issued, i allways do a manual installation (with autoyast on), and edit the resulting XML-file, add/remove parts, making a minimal.XML, LAMP.xml, KDE.xml, ... And do concequent (PXE) installations with the resulting set of xml-files. It makes sure that all systems are installed identically, and without the need of human interaction it is extremely fast. Most of the time i could use an existing xml-file, but sometimes things change. hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Okay, that's probably fair enough.
That is also what I am planning on - well, sofar I'm only experimenting, I might go for just cloning instead. Do you have a link to a reference manual for the xml format/files? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
