Make sure the file .S.u.S.E-disk-001.2002040316 (or similar) is also in that directory. It should be on any of the CD's. You may also have to make a subdir for each CD, but I am not sure. I copied the DVD contents to a folder and got the same error until I copied over that .S.u.S.E...... file. Good Luck Peter Akre On Wed, 2002-05-15 at 07:37, Silviu Marin-Caea wrote:

Thank you. All the files from each disk .S.u.S.E-disk-001 up to 007 have to be present in that directory, in order for network install to work. Now I have a nice, clean, network install source. -- Silviu Marin-Caea Systems Engineer Linux/Unix http://www.genesys.ro Phone +4093-267961
