Hi All, I am looking to create a simple autoyast install from an .iso to deploy VMs from a clone autoyast.xml file. I have already generated the autoyast.xml file. Ideally I would like to slipstream the .xml file into the .ISO image and deploy using the file without having to supply a file via. USB or network share. Does anyone have any suggestions or examples how I can do this? I searched and most seem to focus on network and USB methods to supply the file. Regards, WS ---

@turbo_tuna Hi and welcome to the Forum 🙂 Never really worried about it as used the tools available via kiwi or [https://studioexpress.opensuse.org/](https://studioexpress.opensuse.org/) This may be a better option as you can refine, update, add packages etc, as well as build the virtual machine appliance…? ---
