I don't believe so.  Those CDs (for Intel at least) are intended to be
inserted into a CD reader with autorun turned on.  The scripts that are
included then run through the process of updating the system to SP1.

Subject: Re: How to update an install tree for SLES9 and SLES9+SP1


I'll chime in as one that doesn't understand....

With SP1, it looks like it has a CD1 and CD2.  Don't those just replace the
old RC5a.CD1 and RC5.CD2?

Note, I haven't tried it yet.

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.
