Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 11 - DEPLOYMENT Deployment Manual page 307

autoyast:profile_source install:install_source vnc:1 vncpassword:some_password
If you prefer a static network setup at installation time, your info file would look like
the following:
autoyast:profile_source \
install:install_source \
hostip:some_ip \
netmask:some_netmask \
gateway:some_gateway
The \ indicate that the line breaks have only been added for the sake of readability. All
options must be entered as one continuous string.
The info data can be made available to linuxrc in various different ways:
• As a file on a floppy or CD Rom that is in the client's drive at installation time.
Add the info parameter similar to info=floppy:/info or info=cd:/info.
• As a file in the root directory of the initial RAM disk used for booting the system
provided either from custom installation media or via PXE boot.
• As part of the AutoYaST profile. In this case, the AutoYaST file needs to be called
info to enable linuxrc to parse it. An example for this approach is given below.
• By means of an URL that points to the location of the info file. The syntax for this
looks like info=http://www.example.com/info.
linuxrc looks for a string (start_linuxrc_conf) in the profile that represents the
beginning of the file. If it is found, it parses the content starting from that string and
finishes when the string end_linuxrc_conf is found. The options are stored in the
profile as follows:
....
<install>
....
<init>
<info_file>
