cd $HOME/bin
wget http://www.suse.de/~ug/tools/create_update_source.sh
chmod 755 create_update_source.sh
4 Install the package inst-source-utils. Then, change your working direc-
tory to your network installation source.
5 Run the command $HOME/bin/create_update_source.sh /srv/ftp.
6 Copy all updated packages to the directory /srv/ftp/updates/suse/
<arch>/.
7 Run the following commands to make all the new packages known to the instal-
lation source:
cd /srv/ftp/updates/suse;
perl /usr/bin/create_package_descr -x setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV
8 Create the checksums needed for the installation process with the commands:
cd /srv/ftp/updates/suse/setup/descr
for i in *; do echo -n "META SHA1 "; \
sha1sum $i|awk '{ORS=""; print $1}'; \
echo -n " "; basename $i; done >> /srv/ftp/updates/content
After this procedure, the packages that are copied to the updates directory are available
during the installation. However, they will only be used if they are newer than the
packages provided by the installation itself.
Note, that in order to use a new kernel during the installation, you must also create an
appropriate installation initrd as it is found in /srv/ftp/boot/.
