Yes. I did. Thank You. HTML doc is not convinient to use, but Autoyast2.pdf is the great document. Now I understand the whole method I hope. Could You please shortly check the following, just in general? First is to install kind of "reference" system and do package selection by hands without saving to a floppy immediately on first install (like 8.0 was able by package selection screen interface). Next - use the installed system's YaST Control Center - Misc - Autoinstall. Next - go through the interface carefully, in result something, in form of file, will be generated. Next - if I need only clone the software selection but nothing more - edit this file by some way to remove all extra info.. And/or edit the file for some other reasons (I want another or manual partitioning for instance on next install). Next - just put this file on the empty floppy as autoinst.xml (yes?). Next - on second (cloned) system just start installation booting from CD1 or DVD but typing 'autoyast=floppy' <enter> on the initial boot screen, insert that floppy before. That's it - installation will read that file and start with that cloned info in place.. So - is it in general correct?

3) Imagine I created that XML profile. But how can I re-use it during the next fresh installation? I mean another completely new installation on empty hard drive when I do it next time and want to re-use previous package selection I produced during initial installation...
Look at your posting in the suse-linux-english list. I already tried to give you that answer there about an hour ago. I also posted the link where to find the AutoYast2 docu. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-help@suse.com
