I am using SUSE SLES version 9. My requirement is to put all my packages in a separate directory and to install it. My control file is given below. <software> <addons config:type="list"> <addon>Base-System</addon> <addon>X11</addon> <addon>YaST2</addon> </addons> <base>Minimal+X11</base> custom <packages config:type="list"> <package>glibc</package> // this is my <package>libnscd</package> // package list </packages> <packages config:type="list"> <package>acct</package> <package>glibc-devel</package> <package>glibc-i18ndata</package> . . // here I give the . // packages list given </packages> // in the selection file </software> I didn't use and selection file. I had given it directly in the control file itself. After placing all my packages in "Install_root/suse/custom", I run create_package_descr -d . -x setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV and obtained "suse/setup/descr/packages". But during installation an error Error: File glibc 2.3.3 118.x86_64 not found. Details: File not found on the medium. This is the package i had placed under my "custom" directory. And also several packages had been not installed properly. During investigation it founds that yast didn't get the package name given under tag. If we simply add details for new packages into "suse/setup/descr/packages", whether it is enough for installing the new packages. --- Uwe Gansert wrote:

I had customised the installation using

AutoYaST.

For adding my own package to install using AutoYaST, i had created a directory "custom" under "install_root/suse/". # ls suse i586 custom noarch nosrc setup src x86_64

In the control.xml i added the following portion custom <packages config:type="list"> <package>glibc</package> <package>libnscd</package> </packages> </software>

AFAIK since version 9.1 it's not necessary to enhance the autoast profile. Just do: cd INSTALLATION_ROOT/suse cp my.rpm ./i586/ create_package_descr -d . -x setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV

at the next installation, the new RPM should be found
