This was finally solved by the Novell support: YaST cannot correctly merge two profiles if the tags are in different orders. I.e.: profile1.xml: <add-on>..</add-on> <packages>..</packages> profile2.xml <packages>..</packages> <add-on>..</add-on> Those two won't merge correctly, like I've seen it. The strange thing was, that my two profiles that I put into AY were correcttly ordered! Both had <packages> first, and <add-on> second. But AY took my first profile and created a base_profile.xml from it, in which the tags were ordered alphabetically! Thus, base_profile.xml had <add-on> before <package>, and so merging with my second profile went wrong. I solved this by putting <add-on> before <package> in all my profiles. There will be a fix for future releases that AY/YaST sorts all profiles alphabetically before it merges them, so that order of tags in your hand-written profiles won't matter. I guess that will come with SP1. cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
