Why don't you remove the 'base.tgz' file completely? A common approach for multiple OS is to define a classname for a specific OS type/ OS version / processor architecture combination and provide matching base files in your config space. This way you can use exactly the right base file for each OS. (If you have a fast internet connection I wouldn't use basefiles at all, if it's a slow one you can speed up installation for all OS variants.) bye thomas
