I'm working from 9.1 Professional. I'm attempting to create a custom, autoinstalling CD that will be used to install my distribution on multiple machines. The control file parses without any problems, and the disks are partitioned correctly, but when I get to the software installation step, I hit a snag. I get the message "Could not set base selection "swos"" When I reach the software installation portion of the install. my autoinst.xml file (root of the CD) contains the following information from the software install section. " <software> <base>swos</base> </software> " in suse/setup/descr , I have swos.sel listen in both directory.yast and selections. swos.sel: # SuSE-Linux-Package-Selection 3.0 -- (c) 2002 SuSE Linux AG # generated on Wed Apr 7 13:41:25 UTC 2004 =Ver: 3.0 =Sel: swos =Sum: Base swos System =Cat: base =Vis: true =Ord: 01 +Ins: <my list of software packages to install (including base system) -Ins: I'm guessing that the autoinst.xml file is being read since the disk partitions are set up properly, but I don't know what I'm missing in this step. Any help you can provide would be gratefully appreciated. -K -- Kevin Stallard <kstallard@lancope.com>
