Hallo Jürgen, hi all,

This was not clear from the documentation. Moreover the files are outdated
in regards to a newer SuSE version (but who cares if one has it in the
local version ...).

I have:
./classes/pool.sys.tcf:<SYS_INST_DIR>/src/%os/%vendor/%arch/%version</SYS_INST_DIR>
and
./info/computer.fqdn.sys.tcf:<SYS_LOCATION>pool</SYS_LOCATION>

Now I run make_inst_disk:
 Can not figure out the installation server.
 Please define a server with a tag SYS_INST_SERVER
 Can not figure out the installation directory.
 Please define a server with a tag SYS_INST_DIR

As I had defined this in templates/sys.tcf everything was ok.

This is SuSE 7.2 with alice-0.9.4-10 (7.3-b6).

Tobias
