Hi,

To start, in my previous email i forgot to mention i was trying to do this with the SuSE 9.2 Professional install.

After trying to follow specifications from http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/9.1/html/CreateProfile.Software.html on how to add some custom rpms, i get other issues of importing the selection.

Here is the errors from the log i found: --------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005-01-23 21:43:12 <1> host(28208) [qt-pkg] YQPackageSelector.cc(pkgImport):995 Importing package list from /suse/suse/setup/descr/Custom-0.0.1.noarch.sel
