Hi, Are you by any chance getting the confrimation screen? Try with confirm set to false. Anas peter.palsherm@t-online.de wrote:
Hello,
I try to install SLES8 on a bunch of servers with SuSE AutoYaST. Everything works fine but the software selection in my autoinst.xml file is ignored by autoyast. I want a "Minimal" installation with some additional packages. But the autoinstaller allways ignores my settings, and takes the "Default System for United Linux" settings. So I have to switch manualy to the the "minimum" installation on every server. :-(
Here is my autoinst.xml

I'am installing the servers over the network via nfs. I have also followed the instructions in "Chapter 6.1. Creating NFS directory for UL/SLES from distribution CD's" from the AutoYast2 manual.
I thing I have the same problem as Thomas. see: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-autoinstall/2003-Apr/0037.html
y2log files are available on request
What did I do wrong???? Please help!!!!!
