Hi,
so I kept going as you told. I sucessfully copied the SLES and UL cds into
the required directory and added the new nfs source in yast. Works!
Then I put additional packages into /export/SLES8/sles8-i386/CD1/suse/i586
as someone else was told before.
Then I run the following command
hostname:/export/SLES8/sles8-i386/CD1/suse #
/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/create_package_descr -d
/export/SLES8/sles8-i386/CD1/suse -l english
The output was as follows:
using settings:
datadirs: /export/SLES8/sles8-i386/CD1/suse
languages: english
output dir: ./setup/descr/
is not a directory: ignoring
extra_provides: /usr/share/autoinstall/EXTRA_PROV
............... done
processed 159 packages
now recoding to UTF-8: packages packages.DU packages.en
So, the two additional packages have benn recognized. But something seems to
go wrong. When I start a yast and try to install these packages, they are
not know.
What about /usr/share/autoinstall/EXTRA_PROV may I change that directory ro
my own needs? Can I use additional directories except e.g. i586, noarch, ...
What does aotiyast expect to be in /usr/share/autoinstall/EXTRA_PROV?
Regards,
Jochen

additional packages]

Hi,
I try to create one single NFS Source for autoinstallation and Yast for installed systems. I followed 6.1.3 in the autoyast manual. I can select my NFS repository in "Change source of installation" but I am not able to search for packages. There seems to be nothing in it. e.g. rsync. The system was installed manually.
You have to add UL and SLES sources as different sources. For example, if you have followed the instruction in 6.1.3 you will have an NFS mounted directory with "ul" and "sles8" (might be with other names of course) sub-directories. You have to add those seperatly, i.e. first source will be <server ip>/exports/sles8/sles/CD1 and source 2 will be <server ip>/exports/sles8/ul/CD1 /exports/sles8 is where both UL and SLES have been copied as described in 6.1.3.
Where do I put additional packages (rpms) which came not with SLES8 or update-packeges from the MW?
You can put them in either SLES or UL, but make sure there are no duplicates and remove older versions. When adding new packages, you have to create the package database as described in in the manual for autoyast. Anas
