Hi,
in suse 8.1 I can't find a simple feature of Yast2 in SuSE 8.0 in the menu "Install/Remove software" : "load/save package selections".
Is there any possibility for that in SuSE 8.1. Since we have only few machines that are often configured quite differently, we'd like to install them by hand and simply copy the package selection set from another machine...
Greetings ok

I have the same problem. I am missing "load/save package selections". My "dirty" workaround to get my package selection list and to include it on the NFS server:
The name of my package selection list: need1.sel
# cd suse/setup/descr # cp default.sel need1.sel # vi need1.sel =Sel: need1
=Sum: Informatik CIS system =Sum.en: Informatik CIS system
=Ord: 04
delete all between "+Ins:" and "-Ins:" and fill it with new package names (new_rpm_list.tmp).
I get the new package names (of an already installed 8.1 system) with the command rpm:
# rpm -qa | sed -e 's/-[0-9].*$//' > new_rpm_list.tmp
It's necessary to include need1.sel into the file selections: # echo "need1.sel" >> selections
