OK, I cut down the My.sel to hardly anything just for testing. And yes I did add the My.sel to the files selections and directory.yast. # My linux package selection 1.1 =Ver: 1.1 =Sel: My =Sum: My installation selection of packages =Cat: addon =Vis: true =Ord: 108 +Ins acroread susehelp_en howtoenh mozilla minicom -Ins: I left out the <base> selection, and added the My to the addons. Now I get "Could not set add-on selections". I verified that there was no overlap with My package list and the others. So what do I need to do?

Hi,
I'm trying to load a target with a customized minimal set of packages. I followed the instructions on Config and Installation Options 5.2 but I get to the Configure Software Selections part and a window pops up saying "Cannot set base selection", and when I ok that I get "Error while configuring software selections". I'm suspicious of the examples 4.20 and 4.21 because it seems like the =Sel should be 'My' and the category should be Base-System and not addon in order to be picked up in 4.21 by the <base>My</base>. I've tried the examples and variations and I always get the same errors. Here's what it looks like <software> <addons config:type="list"> <addon>Base-System</addon> <addon>YaST2</addon> </addons> <base>My</base> </software>
If I replace My with Minimal it works fine. What am I missing? Is there some way to know in greater detail what is going wrong? The My.sel has a large list of packages from a previous inhouse installation. Could that be interacting in a bad way so that I would see the errors I'm getting? Maybe I need to cull out any overlap between My and Base-System?
One more easy one, how do I select a valid =Ord value for my Selection?
Thanks a lot, Brian
