Ahh, I must have missed the one "]", and I didn't realize I can have
separate commands on a different line. Thank you Carsten!

Try this one:

<source><![CDATA[#!/bin/sh
cat /etc/passwd | sed 's/+::::::/+::0:0:::/g' > /etc/passwd.tmp mv
/etc/passwd.tmp /etc/passwd ]]></source>

> 's/+/+::0:0:0::::/g']
> >> /etc/shadow.tmp mv /etc/shadow.tmp /etc/shadow ]]></source>

Try this one:

<source><![CDATA[#!/bin/sh
cat /etc/shadow | sed 's/+/+::0:0:0::::/g' > /etc/shadow.tmp
mv /etc/shadow.tmp /etc/shadow
]]></source>

Leave out the ']' in the sed-commands and put the mv-commands
on a new line.

After the installation You can find the scripts in
/var/adm/autoinstall/scripts and their debug-logs in
/var/adm/autoinstall/logs

HTH.

Best regards,

Carsten

RE: Removal of Packages

Uwe, Thank you very much for your reply, very much appreciated! Quick question: After I download the file (10.1_root_fix_v0.2), is there anything else I need to do to "enable" the driverupdate? This is what I have so far in the install directory.

There is a driverupdate on ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/ug/autoyast that you can try but keep in mind, packages that are required(!) by a pattern can't be removed by autoyast. But the games should not be required in that way and so they should be removeable. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@xxxxxxxxxxxx

It's a shell script and it will create a file "driverupdate". You don't need the 10.1_root_fix_v0.2 on the installation source. Just the created "driverupdate" -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug
