Mike,
For SP1, I didn't try using Section 5.3.1 because my desktop linux yast
doesn't have "Misc / Install Server".
So, I essentially setup a new folder for the SP1 CDs, like what I summarized
on my earlier post. I have no idea how a "merged" install tree would look
like. Repeating my SP1 install here:
For SP1 upgrade, I used the following procedure:
In the Install server:
1) download SP1 iso images for CD1, CD2
2) mount loop iso images to tmp dir
3) created diretory: /sles9-s3900-sp1/CD1, /sles9-s3900-sp1/CD2
4) copied iso files from tmp to above directories
5) using yast, NFS export /sles9-s3900-sp1
In target Image:
1) register new install source:
-yast
software / Change source of Installation
add:
install_server / sles9-s3900-sp1/CD1 (CD1 only, CD2 not reqd)
move to top of list
2) do the upgrade:
- yast
software / system update
(take all defaults)
3) re-boot

Subject: How to update an install tree for SLES9 and SLES9+SP1
Hi List,
For a SLES9 install tree:
> blanked out the "\t" from the files yast/instorder; yast/order.
I was thinking about this and the tab characters should probably be in
those two files. Someone pointed out earlier that the correct fix is
probably to use "echo -e" so escaped characters (\t) are expanded. I made
that small change to http://mikemacisaac.com/mksles9root. (tested running
the script, but not installing from the resulting tree yet)
I haven't updated the PDF I put out earlier because there is a bigger
issue of how to integrate SP1 into a SLES9 install tree.
On the SLES9 SP1 CD1 there is a file named "Notes" and it includes the
section "5.3.1 Integrating the Service Pack into an installation server".
I started the process of how to merge SLES9 and SP1 but it is not at all
intuitive and the yast prompts that I see are different from what is
described.
What would be easier is to put together an install tree with SLES9 and SP1
merged from the start. Does anyone know if it is possible to simply merge
the (2 + 4) CDs:
SP1 CD1
SP1 CD2
CD3
CD4
CD5
CD6
If so, I could update the mksles9root script. Or, must the more complex
and thinly described steps in 5.3.1 (above) be followed in order to create
a properly merged install tree? Thanks.
