RE: implement minimum hardware checking

Section 6.1.2. Custom Rules at   http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/autoyast/rulesandclass.html gives what you are looking for ( Or use a pre script ) 

Extract and translation:

...
<rule>
    <custom1>
        <script>
if grep -i intel /proc/cpuinfo > /dev/null; then
echo -n "passes"
else
echo -n "fails"
fi;
        </script>
        <match>*</match>
        <match_type>exact</match_type>
    </custom1>
    <result>
         <profile>@custom1@_requirements.xml</profile>
         <continue config:type="boolean">true</continue>
    </result>
</rule>

Subject: [opensuse-autoinstall] implement minimum hardware checking

Hi,

I would like to implement minimum hardware checking for SUSE 11 (SP1) using autoyast installation.    It looks like using AutoYast  rules.xml file would be a good way to handle this:   Ideally, if the hardware meets the requirements, then select the installation profile (passes_requirements.xml) and proceed as normal.

One concept I am having a hard time finding docs around is how to flag failure during install.   If there's not enough memory or disk to successfully support the application I am installing, I would like to return the fails_requirements.xml profile and show the user an abort message rather than doing the install.

Does someone have a pointer to this kind of scenario?  I have been searching but not finding much discussion around handling failure during the auto install.   

Thanks in Advance,

vince
