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. -Kastus On Thu, Apr 26, 2001 at 01:51:56AM -0400, taralee@MIT.EDU wrote:

I discovered tonight (after my hard disk had been wiped) that I can't load an install configuration that I've saved.

To be specific, this is what I did:

- go into YaST Package Management - select Save Configuration - save configuration to floppy (Minix fs and all that) - reinstall using YaST1 - select Load Configuration - hit F9 for "Load from Floppy" - get told "No configuration available - hit alt-F2 for shell prompt, mount floppy, see perfectly good configuration file on floppy

Needless to say, this was *EXTREMELY* annoying and cost me several hours and lots of hand stress trying to re-create the config by hand. Anyone have any idea why this might have failed?

Further notes: This is SuSE 7.1. Even after I had a newly installed system and invoked YaST from the command line, it wouldn't read the file I'd saved out to the floppy.
