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.

Rats. Sorry. -snip- > I am also presuming that since the Starter is SLES 10 that the system > being installed will be a 10 and not 10 sp2. Is that correct? Actually, the starter system is SP1, which I didn't create a template for. > So I would want the second selection below? 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.
