I have heard it mentioned before that not everything is on the CD's that is on the DVD. I would have thought that everything would be on the CD's too. Perhpas somebody could clarify this? I also had some trouble with the help pages after installing from DVD. I've not tried the CD's but somebody I know has (SuSE 9.2) and they have all the help docs? -- Take care.

The DVDs hold some software that is not on the CDs. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - Meddalwedd Rhydd yn Gymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD!
Shouldn't there somewhere be a list of what is on the DVD's which is NOT on the CD's?! Martin Kevin Donnelly wrote:

Absolutely ... there's a <sarcastic>supremely helpful</sarcastic> "QnA" on the Novell website: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/qna/11512.html ... which neglects to mention _which_ package are not on the CDs, and nor does it even link to the list, which I found after a bit of searching ... ... a careful full-text search for "9.2 CD package list" in the SDB (which is starting to look more and more restricted, but which continues to work OK without logging in for now) finds http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/12/dstark_paketdiffs_92.html ... which in turn links to http://www.novell.com/de-de/products/linuxpackages/professional/diff_cd_dvd.... "Some software packages are only available on the DVD. Below is a complete list of these packages." Note that the QnA could straightforwardly include a link to that page, but doesn't. Click ... click ... click ... click ... I'm wearing out my mouse here ;) -- Bill

No it's not strange. The DVD has more stuff on it, than the CDs. Yast can't install stuff it can't find. However, what you can do, is mount the DVD on another system and use NFS to access it. You can then update the Yast installation source, to use that share. If you can spare the space, you can also copy the entire DVD onto your hard drive and update Yast accordingly.
Mount /media/dvd
cp -rap /media/dvd /export/nfs/suse-dvd
Modify /etc/exports
That should get you exported NFS media but how would you now YAST update it
to the Latest and greatest??
or your saying install via NFS then once installed YasT update the machine?
Kinda would suck of that was the case and you were installing 20+ servers...
wouldn't ya say? ;-)
Hopefully there is a way to update the NFS export or something?

You can export the DVD from one system to as many as you want. In fact, if you were rolling out a large number of systems, that is precicely what you'd do and Yast will automatically point to that server. On your system, after you export the DVD, go into Yast > Software > Change Sourse of Installation. In there, you can add a source. You'd specify NFS, include the server and share name, and it should be OK.
Hi Elijah,
There is a huge difference in package content between
the DVD and the CDs. The CDs have less packages. At
some point I think I saw a posting on this list as to
exactly what is the difference. You can do a search on
the archive. I think it was on Novell's web site.
