No. The gen.template file is a bash script. You execute it, and answer the questions. When you're happy with all the answers you've given, it will write out a file named autoinst.xml. -snip- > But where do I put the nccreg.diff file go? If you want your system to be automatically registered, you manually edit that file to put in the values for your NCC email address, your SLES registration code, and whether you want the optional hardware and software data sent to NCC. Then, you run the patch command to apply that diff against gen.template. > 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? You have to put the generated autoinst.xml file somewhere that is accessible from the network. Then, in your PARMFILE, you put in a parameter to point to it: autoyast=http://ip.address/path/to/autoinst.xml or ftp:// or nfs:// or smb:// In your case, it will be most convenient to put that in /srv/repository, since you don't have access to the outside network.
