Re: [suse-autoinstall] Autoyast SLES9 with network and root passw ord at prompt

Hi,

I clarify my goal : I don't want to fix root password and network 
interfaces configuration; I wish have these modules to appear like a 
"normal" installation and query the user to set these parameters (these 
parameters are site specific, all of the others things are common and 
automatised). I have tested static configuration and it works but it's 
not a good thing for deploying many servers without DHCP.

Thanks for answers,

Regards,

Jean-Paul.

Jean-Paul,

I use autoyast procedure 
[...]
my goal is to include the configuration of ethernet interfaces and root 
password during the installation process... What's the code 
to include in my autoinst.xml file for enabling these purposes please ?
I'd prefer "yast2 autoyast" to setup the XML-File, but however
this would be an example for a static configuration:
<networking>
