YAST Question / BUG?
Hi all, I just loaded 8.0 on to a new (for me at least) system. Now I have a problem. When I loaded 8.0 I had my cdrom at /dev/hdc. Afterwards I added a zip drive to the system at hdc and moved my cdrom to hdb. Now when I try to install more software Yast demands that I use hdc. How can I tell this dumb program that I changed everything? Thanks! JIM PS: otherwise the install went great. It even found my voodo2 card and installed the right drivers for it without problems. -- Jim Hatridge Linux User #88484 ------------------------------------------------------ BayerWulf Linux System # 129656 The Recycled Beowulf Project Looking for throw-away or obsolete computers and parts to recycle into a Linux super computer

Tried that too, no go. IN the process of hacking on it I screwed up my file system. So since I don't have anything importent on it, I'll just do a reinstall in the morning. ####### HEY GUYS AT SUSE! ################# I bet this is a "NEW AND IMPROVED" bug. It seems that YaST2 only checks where your cdrom is one time when you first load SuSE. No matter what I did I could not get it to admit that I had moved the CDrom. Try it yourselfs, take a blank system add 8.0. Then move the cdrom drive from hdc to hdb. Fix the fstab so that you can read cds etc. NOW try to install more software. NO GO! What do you guys think? ############################# Thanks JIM -- Jim Hatridge Linux User #88484 ------------------------------------------------------ BayerWulf Linux System # 129656 The Recycled Beowulf Project Looking for throw-away or obsolete computers and parts to recycle into a Linux super computer

I think you should have a look at the SuSE knowledge base. http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/yast2_pakete_installieren.html and try the suggested solution hwscan --cdrom Does that not work for you? //Anders
