As I wrote earllier, I am using sun java desktop rel 2 (SJDS) and trying to implement auto installation using autoyast, floppy and NFS server. I was able to install SJDS from nfs server as source media by following steps: copy all the cds ( 1,2,3) in my NFS server (/jds/install) using mount /media/cdrom cd /media/cdrom cp -va . /jds/install set up the nfs server --working ok create 3 floppy disk ( boot, modules1 and module3) and autoinst.xml file in floppy 3 create info file in floppy 2 It worked ok last friday but when I try to install agian after some fine tuning today in autoinst.xml ( minor change in partioning) getting following error: "Error while configuring software selections. Please try again." It occurs in Prepare system for automated Installation in Configure boot loading. I haven't changed anything in my server source media that works ok last week. Software selection inf autoinst.xml file is:<software> <addons config:type="list"> <addon>Addon</addon> <addon>Devel</addon> <addon>Gnome-Desktop</addon> <addon>StarOffice</addon> <addon>SuSE-Documentation</addon> <addon>X11</addon> <addon>default</addon> </addons> <base>defaultStar</base> <packages config:type="list"> <package>filesystem</package> ----------------------------------------- <package>perl-XML-DOM</package> <package>autoyast2</package> </packages> </software> Any help will be appreciated. Monir Attn: Todd Currently using 7 Sun java desktop Rel 2 and evaluating last bit auto installation, if auto installation works ok, we are going to have about 30 more. I know SJDS with multi license has system admin software that comes with Allstart option for auto installtion thru Sun control station but it requires a dedicated server with Redhat 7.0 !!! and we are going to SJDS becuase Redhat's termination of it's support to Redhat 9 . _________________________________________________________________ Open an Online Savings Account today & collect a bonus $30*! http://clk.atdmt.com/1DG/go/hsb005000991dg/direct/01/
