Hi! There is another really annoying thing in autoyast2, the list of packages to be installed has to include a base-package, otherwise installation will not work at all. I have now: <software> <base>Minimal</base> Problem is, that i have to install systems with sendmail rather than postfix, but i cannot remove postfix from the list of packages to be installed, it gets installed, even if not in the package list, because its part of "Minimal". Why do i have to specify a "base", when the package list in my xml-file contains ALL PACKAGES to be installed, even those from the "Minimal" base? Or ist there a way to explicitly exclude a package from installation? Well, i found out that i can change the description of the minimal base, but I got no way to modify a file on a DVD - my primary source of Installation. There should be a simpler solution other than buying a DVD-Recorder... ;-) Any hint/idea is appreciated... Wolfgang
