Thank you for this hint. I'd already checked this. The whole installation tree is world readable (files are world readable, directories have world read/execute permissions, also the parent directories). I copied the SuSE DVD as root with 'cp -a' to 'serverdir'. Any ideas ? Werner On Wednesday 30 June 2004 22:33, you wrote:

I hit this error last week and the reason was that the installer didn't have permission to the yast/order and yast/instorder files that I had created in the installation source. Not sure if you're even using those files in this instance, but it would be a good idea to check the permissions on your serverdir subtree. -Carl

I try to install a PC from local HDisk using a selfmade BootCD. These are my parameters for autoyast :

autoyast=device://hda9/install/autoyast/profiles/pc.xml serverdir=/install/autoyast/SuSE/ partition=hda9

I copied the SuSE DVD Distribution to 'serverdir'. Booting from CD is working fine, the autoyast-file is read.

But then I get an error message :

...

Could not set base selection: default Error while configuring software selections

Any idea why this happens ?

Thanks in advance. Regards, Werner Hack
