NFS 9.3 fails to "find proposal"
- From: "M.Blackmore" <mblackmore@xxxxxxxxx>

I've downloaded the suse 9.3 directories (shorn of 64bit and ISO's) from
the ftp.gwdg.de mirror site (it was quicker than suse.com and how) which
is one of the update mirrors for YOU.
The boot cd finds the nfs directory via a manual installation routine
(for some reason fails on the graphic one on first attempt and then
finds it when drops back into manual for a retry) and then when it
starts up the pretty pictures install, the analysing system won't find
an installation list of software.
Somewhere it should have asked for what kind of installation - upgrade,
new, repair, shouldn't it? Always did with 9.2.
Annoying thing is that I had a working copy of 9.3 but it had somehow
doubled in size on the disk - that had been an early grab off a server
and I think they changed a lot of names when it was released finally on
22 march. So deleted the 40gb that seemed to take up and reloaded it
from the current.
Anyway, the message I get is:
No source found at nfs://malcolm:PASSWORD@xxxxxxxxxx/pub/suse/suse9.3
ERROR: no proposal
Anyone throw any light on this? Or why it isn't giving me an install
choice .. and how I can force it to do a manual install right from the
initial bootup of the boot cd...?
Many thanks
