Are the packages installed at installation exactly those that are specified in the selection file (using the <base> tag) plus those given by <package/>? I ask because I just finished auto-installing onto a laptop. The pcmcia package on the CD is incompatible with the laptop, so I made sure the selection file I chose, "default", didn't contain it. However, upon rebooting, the computer froze while trying to initialize the pcmcia. It turns out the package was installed even though it was specified nowhere. I queried the RPM database and no package requires pcmcia. Why did it get installed? How exactly does the autoinstall process select which packages are installed? Is there any way to ensure a certain package doesn't get installed?
In addition to the packages in the selection file, the follwing packages are added automatically: - packages needed due to dependencies. - language specific package - packages deteremined automatically depending on hardware, i,e, kernel, pcmcia on laptops and other architecture dependent packages. Pcmcia is added automatically, even if you remove it. Please consult this article to resolve the problem: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/findeisen_pcmcia_structure01.html Regards, Anas
Thanks, Robert
