[Stuart Jansen <sjansen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to create a GRUB-based multi-distro install CD. I've been
partially successful with openSUSE 11.0, I can get linuxrc to launch
YaST but I can't get YaST to use an iso based repository.

Below is an example GRUB menu.lst entry (note that the install= has
wrapped but is actually on the same line as the kernel):

----
title Install Classroom Server Using openSUSE 11.0
    kernel (cd)/boot/vmlinuz-s11.0
install=disk:///isos/openSUSE-11.0-DVD-i386.iso
    initrd (cd)/boot/initrd-s11.0
----

This works, linuxrc is able to launch YaST, but after some
initialization YaST says:

----
Unable to create repository
from URL 'iso:/?iso=openSUSE-11.0-DVD-i386.iso&url=disk:///isos/'.

Details:
Unsupported URI scheme in 'disk:///isos/'.
----

Setting up a network server is not an option.

I must be doing something wrong, but I've been over the linuxrc &
AutoYaST documentation several times and I don't see what I've missed.
Is it possible to install openSUSE using iso files on a USB drive? What
am I missing?

BTW, once I get this working, I plan on adding an autoyast file to the
mix, so I'm hoping for a solution that won't make that harder.
