Re: [opensuse-autoinstall] installation source not at root of DVD solved

Hi, solved the problem. Should have read the documentation more carefully. intall=cd:///inst/media/sles/10/sp2/i586/CD1 does it Jochen

I have a question regarding installation from CD/DVD. Is it possible to have the installation source at a DVD where the product files do not exist at the root of the DVD?

My DVD layout looks like that: /boot, /grub, /inst/media/sles/10/sp2/i586/CD1, /inst/media/oes2/sp1/i586/CD1 I'm using grubs eltorito stage to make the image bootable - that works fine with network installation sources.

The content of SLES10-SP2 DVD is on the media below /inst/media/sles/10/sp2/i586/CD1

I tried install=cd:/hdc path=/dev/hdc/inst/media/sles/... install=cd:/dev/hdc patch=/dev/hdc/inst/media/sles/... ... But it didn't work.

I'm wondering if it is possible to accomplish this task at all. /dev/hdc as path argument seems wrong for me cause /dev/hdc is a block device which should be mounted.

I'm also thinking about mounting the DVD via exec parameter at bootloader prompt and point the installation source to the mountpoint. But at first I would like to hear your advises.

Thanks, Jochen
