YaST CD Creator SLES9 - sources missing?
Hello all, I'm trying to use the YaST CD Creator in SLES9 to create an installation CD of my current system (just a minimal install). I'm starting "yast2 cd-creator", choose "Add", now I select my generated autoyast.xml file or "Package Manager". In any case I get the "Source Selection" screen next but the list is completely empty, so I cannot continue. As I understand there should be the same SuSE CDs listed here which are also listed in "YaST2 -> Software -> Change Source of Installation". Any idea how to get some sources into the list? Thanks for any help... PS: I'm using the vanilla "RC5" images downloadable from the Novell website.

The sources have to be available on the same system. (Local directory source). Anas Kai Groshert wrote:

Hello Anas, that's what I tried, because it says so in the help window. I now found out why it still didn't work: The local installation source has to be on top of all other sources in the list of installation sources. I had the CDs on top so it didn't work. Maybe that's something that could be fixed in an updated version :-) (or is this the intended behaviour?) Thanks for the help, Kai Anas Nashif wrote:

This is now fixed, a new package will be on the service pack. Anas Kai Groshert wrote:
