Mark & Mike, Thanks. I think this is what I need. I will test it.
Now, one more question -- and this is what started this issue. How do I integrate the recently released SLES9 SP1 into the install server that I will be building? The SP1 release notes doc. is all confusing to me. On one hand it implies that you simply register in the target image yast, the SP1 ISOs as another install source. And later in the doc., it documents (using yast, of course) how you can add the ISOs in the install server's directory. No details about directory structure for the SP1 CDs . And since the yast in my desktop is crippled in the first place .... sigh Thanks again, for any insights.

It details the steps around the mkinstallroot script I posted a while back and how to make the tree available via NFS. I've at least run through the steps once or twice and they seemed to work. Any feedback will be appreciated. If you set this NFS server up and install SLES9 on zSeries, YaST on the installed image will "remember" the install credentials (server, directory). Later you can copy the install tree over to a zSeries Linux image and change the YaST settings if you want. (P.S. this is part of a larger project we *hope* to announce at a SHARE BOF in early March and make available in April) "Mike MacIsaac" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (845) 433-7061 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
