I've been trying to load three sites into the Change Source of Installation Module in Yast: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/apache/apache2/9.2-i386/ ftp://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/projects/apache/apache2/9.2-i386/ ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/apache/subversion/9.2-i386/ All three give the same error message: Unable to create installation source from URL:(each of the above) Details ERROR(InstSrc:E_no_instsrc_on_media) I've read the archives on this error and I'm not making those mistakes. These are my server and directory values that I enter: suse.mirrors.tds.net pub/projects/apache/apache2/9.2-i386 I've deleted, backspaced and reentered to data so there should be no hidden spaces or other tokens. Any ideas on how to fix this and get these rpms installed? Thanks, Jerome I've been doing some checking. It seems this error message doesn't happen on the /pub/suse/ branch but it does happen on the /pub/projects/ branch of the file tree. I've tried three different directories on this branch all with the same result. I'm using two machines, 9.2 and 9.3 to test with. Would someone else try to do this and publish their results here? Also the Novell Cool Solutions: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/11504.html Shows /pub/suse/i386/9.2/ in the 'Directory on Server' window with a leading forward slash. This shows up in the Yast Software Source Media window like this: ftp:mirror.mcs.anl.gov//pub/suse/i386/9.2/. It still works but I think there should no forward slash in front of pub under 'Directory on Server' in the Server and Directory window. Thanks, Jerome

Jerome, I don't think these folder trees contain the yast sources information, so I don't think adding these as installation sources will work. You can use yast to install these individually if you use KRPMView (right-click on the rpm in Konqi). You could also just download the rpms you want and then install then with rpm (`man rpm`). `rpm -ivh *.rpm` will install all rpm's in the same folder that the command is executed in. If it complains about dependencies, you will have to manually run down the needed rpms and install them. You might also try apt4suse, it makes life much easier. Regards, -- Mark A.
