There's one possibility that sprung to mind which may catch you out. In the past when I've accidentally used an installation kernel from a previous suse version it usually failed to find installation sources from the most current suse version. After i used an up-to-date installation kernel I would be fine.
Hi Graham, Thanks for thinking of this. I was using the kernel that I just extracted from the 11.1 mini-cd iso, so I think I'm OK. My problem went away when I manually set the network parameters, so I guess our network admins need to clean up their DHCP server.
Booting to the installation kernel and using the following *should* work ;)

For your convenience, here's a few IP's

Yes, this one works well :) Thanks, Dave Lars, Thanks for your help. I expect the 195.135.221.130 address would also work now I've set the net parameters. It would be nice if the installer came up with more specific error messages if it has problems reaching the repository. Also nice would be the ability to see the details that DHCP set up. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
