Problem was:
Using a nfs source for the control.xml file didn't work as described.

** Doesn't work (as input to the boot prompt):
linux autoyast=nfs://ip-of-nfs1:/path/control.xml
install=nfs://ip-nfs2:/other-path/suse8.0
(one will be asked for a valid path to a control file, later)

** Doesn't work , either:
linux autoyast=nfs://ip-of-nfs1/path/control.xml
install=nfs://ip-nfs2:/other-path/suse8.0
(no colon after nfs-server1's ip in the autoyast statement)


Anas Nashif <nashif@suse.de> gave the tip:
>Try without the : in the URL     <snip>

>So the URL should look like this:
>     install=nfs://123.123.123.111/installs/suse8.0

Ah - the trick is to leave out *both* times the colon ..

If one of these lines on the boot prompt, it works:

** Works:
linux autoyast=nfs://ip-nfs1/path/control.xml
install=nfs://ip-nfs2/other-path/suse8.0

** Works, too:
linux autoyast=http://ip-www/control.xml
install=nfs://ip-nfs2:/other-path/suse8.0
(Here the colon after the nfs-server ip doesn't hurt in the install
statement)


Anis Nashif mentions further:

Is there a open list of "known issues" ?
(I've got some more small issues, but if they are known, I don't want
to bother the list with them.)

And - soon is approximatly when?
(Should I start to play with autoinstall boot CDs with the old version or
is it worth to wait for the new version?)


Regards,

Hella
