I'm looking at defining a default package selection only - i.e. establishing a sort of extra installation selection beyond 'minimal', 'graphical' etc. The aim is to leave the normal SuSE installation process for Pro 8.2 intact but to pre-set the package selection to one that will be the default loadset for a particular class of desktops (I can't go automatic as the hardware is, er, rather varied ;-). The problem is that I'm not able to identify in the AutoYAST dos how to stop AutoYast from being 'auto' - all I want is to pre-set the selected packages in the detailed package selecton of YAST and keep everything else precisely as is, i.e. manual and flexible. If someone could point out some docs or HOWTOs where this is detailed I'd be very happy, teh AutoYAST dos don't go into detail on avoiding automation ;-). Kind regards, /// P ///
