I formatted the HD and installed a swap partition (the system only has 6 megs of RAM). I NFS-mounted the drive I tried to use earlier, and copied over the files indicated in the manual - except inst-img of course. When I get to the point where Yast asks for the HD I give it /dev/hda1 and the dir on the local drive. In response I get a big red window in tty1 saying: Cannot find the image! Check the directory specification! while on tty3: "Trying loopmount /tmp/suse63/suse/setup/inst-img" or "Trying loopmount /tmp/loopmount/suse63/suse/setup/inst-img" .. depending on whether I'm trying to use nfs or the local HD. I guess by now I could have just copied over everything using the old fashioned "cp" method. :) <p>On Wed, Dec 13, 2000 at 09:31:11AM -0800, John Grant wrote:

A friend just gave me an old Winbook XP laptop to try to install Linux on. This thing only has a 300MB drive and no CDROM, but I do have a supported PCMCIA ethernet card so I thought I'd try a NFS install. It works to the point that I can mount up the NFS export over the net, but yast crashes on trying to access the /suse/setup/inst-img file because it's not there.

It's not on my 6.3 CDs or the suse FTP site either. What's the workaround?
