Make sure you use the same version of YaST to read the configuration as the one which wrote the configuration. Otherwise you have to tweak the header of the configuration file on diskette.

1.09.3, 1.09.3. Same version.
I've had this type of error when I saved configuration on a 7.0 system and tried to load it on a 7.1 system. Configuration was not loaded until I edited the header. Now I did a quick test, saved configuration on a 7.1 system (YaST 1.09.3) and then tried to load it from the same floppy. YaST reports: There are no configurations available I mount the floppy manually, file test1093.sel (the name I chose for configuration) is there, its contents looks good to me. So, something's wrong with YaST 1.09.3? -Kastus
I had 7.1 both before and after the install, so this is hardly surprising.

I think I've come to the conclusion that if you installed with YaST 2, you can't load the package list into YaST 1, because, for example, YaST 1 won't install XFree86 4.0 (it does 3.3.6 instead.) SuSE *really* needs to provide a way to give a preconfigured list of packages to YaST2. Boy was I annoyed last night, and I have to do the same thing to another machine today. -tara
