aha - the comps.xml from the extras cd has overwritten the comps.xml from the install cds. Please replace with the real comps.xml. Please recreate your tree not using the Extras (non-free) CD or leaving out that iso from an nfsiso setup.
you are right - I copied all 9 cd's into one nfs-share in an ascending cd - order. That of course was the wrong order ! Thank you for your quick help
