84 Preparing the Script Files for Deployment Using Embedded Linux
autoinst.xml (for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server)
The autoinst.xml file is the default name of the answer file that you use to automate an unattended
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server installation. A sample copy of the autoinst.xml file is provided as part of
the DTK download in the /opt/dell/toolkit/template/configs directory. The autoinst.xml file contains
the headings and parameters that instruct the installation utility to perform various configuration tasks.
Before a full deployment can be run, you must edit all appropriate headings and parameters, as necessary.
NOTE: See your operating system documentation for instructions on modifying the options in the autoinst.xml file
to customize the scripted installation of your operating system.
When you have completed all necessary modifications of the autoinst.xml file, save the completed file in
the /opt/dell/toolkit/systems/<target system> directory.
After you have successfully edited your deployment scripts, you are ready to create your deployment
media and run your deployment. For instructions on creating deployment media and running a full
deployment, see "Running Deployment Scripts Using DTK and Embedded Linux."
