The following situation: Copied the cd's to harddisk. An install of this repository is succesfull. In this case the mounted directory is: /ftp/distrib/suse82/base

On the same machine suse's updates are being mirrored into: /ftp/distrib/suse82/updates

From the 2 directories (base and updates) I've created a "latest" repository, using relative links. Path to that directory is: /ftp/distrib/suse82/latest.

However, during installation the directory /ftp/distrib/suse82/latest is mounted and for this reason the links made in that directory are going nowhere. The directories updates and base are not visible. A solution is to copy all the files. But is it possible to have suse mount /ftp/distrib/suse82/ but to use the path /ftp/distrib/suse82/latest??

I would create a directory for 8.2 under which I will also copy the updates. Multiple sources using different pathes and protocls is possible, however it is very complex and needs some configuration on the server side. See http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/8.2/html/a1798.html Anas

Looking forward to suggestion.
