That doesn't sound like AutoYast, rather someone used SUSE Studio to build an appliance. But of course I could be wrong since I don't have the media on hand. > We would like to just do a > "standard" OS only install with this cd. Why?

Sounds like you've strayed far away from System z. :) I think you need to open up a service request for this. Preferably with both the vendor and your Linux service provider, since I think everyone involved is going to have to understand how the media was created and what's going on during the install process. > On a side note, the sles11.3 iso DVD2 > download will not fit on a DVD! If you use a DL DVD, it will fit, since those hold 8.4G. Of course you need a DVD burner capable of handling that media. That's all source code anyway, so it's not really needed for installation.
