Error Unable to create installation source from URL 'nfs://192.168.1.4//home/ dougie/SuSE/CD1'. A source with the same product already exists.

There can only be exactly one source for a given product. You have to delete the existing source entry for 8.1 before YaST2 will accept the new one.

which is rather annoying -- after all, what is the point of "active" then? (unless, I just realized, it is to make version "8.0" active vs. version "8.1", but I would think that most people only have one "version" on their system -- most tales-of-woe are about trying to do an "upgrade" from a prior version and usually end with "so I did a clean install and everything is OK...") I suppose I should post this to the support group [as a "wishlist" item or otherwise] but I can make the case that you can [and should] have multiple FTP sites "configured" in case one site is overly busy -- you simply go to the "change source" screen and make a new one active [which automatically deactivates any others for the same "product"] -- some of the "paths" to the release can be a little tricky to remember... - -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://osnut.homelinux.net/TomEmerson.asc iD8DBQE+gOAsV/YHUqq2SwsRAjsKAJ4nEmEEIQpZmlYjYzVbycR8lvIzkACfbNx1 zq6blqIF46tFF+bHqBF573M= =DEoU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
