hi dave, just a hint: the list is searchable through google. you just have to add an "site:http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-autoinstall/" after your search keywords. this works with this list as well as with all other sites indexed by google. unfortunately i can't tell anything regarding your problem greetz sven -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Dave [mailto:davo_muc@yahoo.com] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 23.

I also read the FAQ but didn't see this problem addressed there. Unfortunately, the list archives are not searchable so I'm not really able to go through them all to see if this has been answered. Here's the goal: + Have AutoYAST install additional RPM packages that I specify in an + ".sel" file. Here's what we tried: according to http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstallation/9.1/html/CreateProfile.Software. html#id2515639 + created custom-9.3-83.noarch.sel in /9.3/suse/setup/descr and added + package names to "+Ins:" section + added custom-9.3-83.noarch.sel entry to selections file in + /9.3/suse/setup/descr added custom-9.3-83.noarch.sel entry to + directory.yast file in /9.3/suse/setup/descr updated MD5SUMS file in + /9.3/suse/setup/descr to reflect new MD5's for files directory.yast, selections, and custom-9.3-83.noarch.sel + modified control file to included an addon directive + <addon>custom</addon> Here's the error we get during the software selection phase of AutoInstall: "Could not set add-on selection: custom" I can send the files along as attachments if that is helpful in diagnosing the problem. If someone knows the solution, we would love to hear it! Thanks, Dave __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
