Hi I 'm trying to build a customized iso of super super, but yast doesn't take my package change.

I see INDEX.gz and ls-lR.gz, and have my new package ( Mplayer, w32codecs, etc ), i add those package to /suse/setup/descr/default.sel too, but when i run the script to create the iso i have these errors:

crear.sh: line 18: create_package_descr: command not found

This is the problem. Without the create_package_descr the descriptions aren't updated and the resultant image won't work as is should[0].

I think that's the problem, any help ... please. I there a program or script to create package descriptions ??

You need to install the autoyast2-utils package. Once it's installed, the script should work properly and create the ISO image properly. I know that the latest version of Houghis script[1] checks for the required binaries/scripts and prompts you to install the missing packages. [0] I met this problem while making the beta4 DVD ISO after upgrading a 9.3 install to 10.0beta3. I wrote my own script, about the same time Houghi wrote his, that ran through the process of applying the deltas, mounting each CD ISO and copying the files, updating the packages, creating the DVD ISO with mkisofs and finally burning it to disc with growisofs. As the autoyast2-utils package wasn't present in the beta3, and I had left the script to run unattended as it took a long while to apply the deltas, I didn't see that create_package_descr wasn't present and the descriptions hadn't been updated for a single install source. Took a couple of runs through the builds/burn process before actually sat down and watched it run all the way through. Then I noticed the error and applies a hard slap to the forehead[2]. Thank goodness for DVD+RW :) [1] <URL:http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs> [2] and then patched the script so that it checks that each of the required binaries are present before starting the process.
