What is default location for suse selection files
What is the default location for suse selection files, like: default.sel, Kernel-Devel.sel, Network.sel, etc. According to locate all *sel files are located in: /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/IS_CACHE_0x00000001/DATA/descr However, some of the *sel files are located in: /var/adm/YaST/SelDB/Basis-Sound.sel /var/adm/YaST/SelDB/default.sel /var/adm/YaST/SelDB/Gnome.sel /var/adm/YaST/SelDB/Kde-Desktop.sel /var/adm/YaST/SelDB/MINIMAL.sel /var/adm/YaST/SelDB/Office.sel /var/adm/YaST/SelDB/SuSE-Documentation.sel /var/adm/YaST/SelDB/X11.sel My questions: Can I rely on the fact that all suse provided *sel files are _always_ located in /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/IS_CACHE_0x00000001/DATA/descr, or may that change due to user settings in yast (think of change soource of destination). What are the *sel files doing in /var/adm/YaST/SelDB/, is their use preferred over the ones in /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/IS_CACHE_0x00000001/DATA/descr? Why are there 2 locations holding exactly the same files? For what is worth it, the files are not owned by any rpm. I assume they are copied to these location during the installation process. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

/var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/IS_CACHE_0x0*/DATA/descr Add more sources, e.g. ftp.suse.com, ftp.gwdg.de, and others (HD). You'll see there will be more of these directories, the */DESC/description contains the location. Would be fun to add a strange source, like */people/kraxel/9.1-i386, or */suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/yast_source, and see what happens in those directories... ;) /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/ could be the *.sel files that make up the initial selection, at the point of first installation. This is the impression I have [doesn't mean I'm right, though ;) ] Cheers, Leen
