I try to remaster the opensuse 10.1 installation medium to a 4.5 GIG DVD and to add auf autoinst.xml to it. So I removed suse/x86_64 and a couple of i586 packages. I tried to use a explicit package list in autoinst.xml, because I wanted it to be usable in opensuse 10.1 and SLES10/ Opensuse10.2. So i commented out addons and base clauses (is that legal ?): <software> <!-- <addons config:type="list"> <addon>SuSE-Documentation</addon> <addon>Kde-Desktop</addon> <addon>Min</addon> <addon>Basis-Sound</addon> <addon>X11</addon> </addons> <base>default</base> --> <packages config:type="list"> <package>alsa-firmware</package> .... <package>yast2-repair</package> </packages> </software> Remastering the DVD went fine using using docu under: http://de.opensuse.org/Erstellen_einer_DVD_aus_den_CDs#Von_Hand_eine_DVD_aus... o create_package_descr o mkisofs Then I run into Problems: 1. I learned the hard way that you MUST add exactly this to the kernel command line: instmode=cd autoyast=file:///autoinst.xml This should be documented better. 2. Now start of Problem: -The dvd booted fine, fired up yast you "started autoinstall". - While looking for "catalogs" or such, a huge list of missing packages is displayed. Clicking away that warning gets a "no catalogs on medium ... " error. Should I use makeSUSEdvd http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=146800&package_id=163319 instead ? Should I wait for SLED 10 oder opensuse 10.2 ? Johannes -- Dipl.-Inf.
