You know what I hate? I hate producing XML that looks perfectly valid, validates with the schema checker, and doesn’t cause the parser to throw errors when actually processing it, yet completely fails to do what it’s supposed to do.
In case you’re interested, the difference between
<interfaces config:type=”list”>
and
<interfaces>
in an AutoYaST install profile is, the first configures your network interfaces for you, and the second says “Oh, this bit here with the nic card and the IP address? Naaaah…. don’t bother. I never liked the Internet anyways. Let’s just mess around with xfractint or something. Networking is for people who can’t make their own fun.”
Bah, humbug, AutoYaST. Bah, humbug.
