Can anybody point me to a good set of instructions on how to install SUSE 9.2 from a network source? My main box has DVD, but not the test boxen I want to install on. I tried exporting the DVD via FTP; got the install to start and YaST came up, but when he got to the package selection, he couldn't find anything. Do you actually have to copy the files to disk? -- ================================================================= Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) ----------------------------------------------------------------- The one sticking point between us and the open-source community is that we actually think that compatibility matters. ----------------------------------------------------------------- -James Gosling, creator of Java =================================================================

This is how I did it.
1. On the server machine (in my cas running SUSE 9.1/apache2)
creat a file /etc/apache2/conf.d/suse-media.conf with the
following content (let's assume you are using 192.168.0.0 network):
Alias /suse /suse
My main box has DVD, but not the test boxen I want to install on. I tried exporting the DVD via FTP; got the install to start and YaST came up, but when he got to the package selection, he couldn't find anything. Do you actually have to copy the files to disk?
As you see, it does not require copying of any files from DVD Regards, -Kastus

Thanks, I've got one running from this machine right now. I don't know why I couldn't get it to work when I tried via FTP; I basically followed the same procedure you outlined, only with FTP (and verified from 9.1 running on the target machine that I could see the DVD contents from an ftp client first). -- ================================================================= Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) ----------------------------------------------------------------- The one sticking point between us and the open-source community is that we actually think that compatibility matters. ----------------------------------------------------------------- -James Gosling, creator of Java =================================================================
