RE: openSUSE 12.3 installation with updates from DVD

Hi Stephen,

From my understanding the update repository can be located on the installation media but we do only network installation so the following example must be adopted for a local repository.


> Care to share the few lines out of your autoinst.xml?

An example for a network based add-on for opensuse 12.1

  <add-on>
    <add_on_products config:type="list">
      <listentry>
        <media_url>http://10.0.0.1/export/mirror/stable/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/update/12.1</media_url>
        <product>SuSE-Linux-Updates</product>
        <product_dir>/</product_dir>
        <ask_on_error config:type="boolean">true</ask_on_error>
        <name>SuSE-Linux-Updates</name>
      </listentry>
  </add-on>

From a google search ( search was: add-on autoyast ) i found the following for local media based repository.

 ... http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.linux.suse.autoinstall/page=11
 <add-on>
   <add_on_products config:type="list">
     <listentry>
       <media_url>cd:///updates</media_url>
       <product>SuSE-Linux-Updates</product>
       <product_dir>/</product_dir>
       <name>MyUpdates</name>
     </listentry>
   </add_on_products>
 </add-on>


Maybe OpenSuse 12.3 support also the file "add_on_products.xml" . If you use this there is no need for a autoinst.xml add-on entry,
See   http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/YaST/SLES11/onefile/yast-onefile.html for details .
