I succesfully got the auto_inst.cfg working using a image from Florin's ftp area now I'm having problems with the postinstall option in auto_inst.cfg. I've checked thru Mandrake's web site and Google and didn't find find to much other than http://www.linux-mandrake.com/drakx/auto_inst.html. I replaced the auto_inst.cfg on Florin's image with the one I created with in expert mode, I modified clearall to 1, autoExitInstall to 0 and of course I added the post install section to the end of the file. Here is the tail of auto_inst.cfg .(...=many other entries) 'netc' => { ... 'GATEWAY' => 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' }, 'postInstall' => <<'EOF' echo "This is a test" EOF }; ^@ When i run the command perl -cw auto_inst.cfg I get the following message Can't find string terminator "EOF" anywhere before EOF at auto_inst.cfg line 281. When I start the auto install here's the error I get Entering step 'Setup Firesystems' error :( on tty3 the last line is * warning: Oops, no root partitions at /usr/bin/perl-install/install_steps.pm line 152. If I remove the additions I made in regard to postinstall then it works ok. 'netc' => { ... 'GATEWAY' => 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' } }; ^@ Does anyone have any suggestions? Jose
