Heloo I am not quite sure if this is the right place to ask but perhaps someone has an idea. What I am looking for is a way in a standard SuSE installation (via NFS) to initially get a certain package selection that I created on my own. I want to install every host with the same selection of packages and want to have as little setupwork for this. auto_yast turned out not to be useful here. Up to suse9.3 this was quite simple. Basically I simply created a new .sel file in <base>/suse/setup/descr/ and put the name of this selection at the end of the file selection in the same directory. Later when the installation started the installer would automatically select the last entry from "selections" as the base software selection. This worked fine up to suse9.3. In 10.0 I only have a choice in between "KDE", "Gnome" and "Minimal" as base selections. I can manually add a addon selection but ideally this is exactly what I would like to avoid. I could also overwrite the default selections for KDE, Gnome and Minimal with my own one, but this is not the ideal solution if I ever want to have a default installation. So my question is, if one can configure somewhere somehow what base package selections yast2 offers when starting the installation or if this is hard coded into the installer Can anyone give me a hint? -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainer Krienke, Universitaet Koblenz, Rechenzentrum, Raum A022 Universitaetsstrasse 1, 56070 Koblenz, Tel: +49 261287 -1312, Fax: -1001312 Mail: krienke@uni-koblenz.de, Web: http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~krienke Get my public PGP key: http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~krienke/mypgp.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
