There is a way to setup manually only the partitionning. that's it. Yesterday (or this night), I looking for the new darkxconf and find the autoinstall tools. This is a very good idea but I have suggestions (perhaps not for actual 8.2 if it is too late): - Purpose just to create the file auto_inst.cfg and maybe the syslinux.cfg - Purpose to select a list of packages as during the installation with dependency resolving for creating this from server for all distribution's versions, and put directly the file on ftp|NFS|http serveur - Can set all parameters as network, ect... I know this need a lot of work and perhaps you are in way to do this. It is just suggestions. At time I'm testing auto_inst over ftp, I have a dos partition with just syslinux, kernel and network.img, I boot and all unless partitionning and format. I can said you this work very well ;-) And I forgot, write the doc, but I think it is not most important for the moment ! Very Thanks. -- Linux pour Mac !?

[Cooker] autoinstall 8.2
I want test an important part for me of a distrib: the auto_install. Oh, just a word to say that a collegue have found the save selection package very usefull. I have during the installation create the two floppy replay and autoinst, I want be sure what I do and I have for understand do a diff between the two files: _ [root@virgo ftp]# diff replay.cfg /mnt/floppy/auto_inst.cfg 393c393 'clearall' = 0, --- 'clearall' = 1, 395c395 'auto_allocate' = 0 --- 'auto_allocate' = 1 455c455 'autoExitInstall' = 0, --- 'autoExitInstall' = 1, 468,471d467 package install_steps_auto_install; $graphical = 1; push @graphical_steps, 'doPartitionDisks', 'formatPartitions'; -- Correct me if I am in wrong way clearall allow drakX to delete all data on all disk auto_allocate is for allocate each partition to mountpoint by reading 'partitions' section. What are the three last line ? How can I be sure that each partitions will be associate to the good mount point (is the order of partition section important) and drackX will not erase my non [ext[23]|reiserfs] partitions. There is a way to setup manually only the partitionning. I ask you for that because I can test all other section without risk, but I don't want erase Windows (not yet !) and not my BSD !

Thanks, I understand the difference, I have select Replay, but I can't lose this Windows at time, and message from lilo affraid me. Don't forget it's a cooker, and I wan't test for help you, if there are a bug... In the file autoinst.cfg, I don't see where the format is specified, but my diskette is at home, I will relook this this evening as Pixel ask me, I will send this file. I want use this diskette for reinstall faster the cooker for testing. If doubt, I retry to create this diskette after an other installation.
