Error -> Could not set base selection: default

3 Dec 2005

      I've been working on this all day and it's driving me crazy.

I'm trying to run a PXE install and it gets to the point of parsing the 
xml file and then throws this error up when it gets to software 
configuration.

I used yast2 instserver and yast2 autoyast to generate the install 
source and have been modifying the info file that I've placed in the 
initrd for different attempts.

Here is my autoinst.xml
