SuSE 9.1 CDROM and DVD are different versions
I recently purchased SuSE Linux Pro 9.1. As usual I copied the DVD to my NFS server so that I can do local minimal installs using CD1 and then once up and running machines can have extra packages installed via NFS as required. However, I find that the DVD bundled with 9.1 is RC1 whereas the CDs are RC2. This means loads of conflicts if one tries to install anything from the DVD (or network copy thereof) on a machine that was originally installed via CDROM (and vice versa)! The only fix I can see is to copy each CD to my NFS server and throw the DVD in the bin! -- Simon Oliver

how do you determine this?

I think you should take this up directly with suse. If you purchased a real box (as opposed to the £1.99 versions you find on eBay and elsewhere) that was in some way defective, they have at least in the past been very willing to send out new copies

Just wondered if anyone else had noticed the discrepancy. -- Simon Oliver
Yes, the discrepacy is always there... 8.2 <--> 9.1 If I install cd, and the change source to DVD, it always gives a version conflict... My Solution... Boot from CD, but install from NFS (on thoose few machines that don't have DVD) Don't know if this will work for you though... Jerry On Thu, 2004-07-01 at 17:26, Simon Oliver wrote:
