Thanks again. I fixed this by manually copying the Minimal.sel file into suse/setup/descr/ directory. -- Ryan

Hi Ryan,

...

Alright, Thanks to Ole's help, I have a bootable install CD, but it fails to install with the following error: could not set base selection "Minimal"

Usually, after such a failure you get the possibility to manually select packages (at least if you have used the option to manually start the install process). You should look there whether you see any packages here.

If yes, the problem is that there is something wrong with the "selection" stuff itself. Look into suse/setup/descr/Minimal.sel (does it exist? empty? with a useful list? are the pkgs described here really in the repository?)

If not, you have a problem with your repository. I had this sometimes if I cancelled a running "create_package_descr"-process, or if this process failed for some reasons.

Tschuessi

Ole
