Questions on #autoinst generator 

Ok. I know nothing. 

I downloaded the autoinst.SP2.zip
And then extracted the gen.template and the nccreg.diff.
Searched the manuals and how to do links and I am left cold, I think.

I presumed that I load the information up onto the starter system
NOVSTART and do yast autoyast to generate the autoinst.xml from the
template and diff.

But where to put the template and diff files?
Again I am presuming the gen.template goes into: 
novstart:/var/lib/autoinstall/repository/templates 

But where do I put the nccreg.diff file go?

Also after generation how to I get the object installation system CLIENT
(which is really a server) to pickup the autoinst.xml back on NOVSTART?

In other words, I have no idea how to get from point A to Z. 

Thank you 

Paul

Rats.  Sorry.

Actually, the starter system is SP1, which I didn't create a template
for.

Give the SP2 version a try.  I think you're more likely to not have a
problem.  The only difference between the two is the package selections.
Starting with SP1, and continuing with SP2 (but less so), some more
inter-package dependencies were introduced, so if you try to use the GA
version, it will get a "package resolver failure."  If the SP2 version
fails for you as well, let me know and I'll create an SP1 version.
