adding custom packages - could not set add-on selection error
Hello, Please excuse me if this question has been answered before, but I've read the documentation, and after following the steps about adding custom packages, we are still having difficulties. 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.... + 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!

please don't use the ~nashif page anymore. Use ~ug instead. So http://www.suse.de/~ug

Here's the error we get during the software selection phase of AutoInstall:
"Could not set add-on selection: custom"
do you have a <base>...</base> selection in your autoyast profile in the <software> section? Can you choose that selection in a manual installation? -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de

please don't use the ~nashif page anymore. Use ~ug instead. So http://www.suse.de/~ug
What are the chances of redirecting Nashif's pages to yours?

not very high. The ~nashif page is already redirected to forge.novell.com and that's a more official place than my SUSE "Homepage". Just if you use www.suse.de/~nashif/..../... then you'll still see the old documentation from Anas. Only the main page is redirected. You might ask why I don't use forge.novell.com for the latest documentaion then too but just believe me, there are reasons for that. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
