Rodney,
when it ask for the ip address it's asking for the hosts private address.(yes, this is the 192.168.0.254 address assigned to the server)
This is in preparation of the install routine being able to set all the address locations the server requires.
If you have a large enough pipe to the internet you can do the whole
thing from the internet using , <source path="opensuse://10.2"/> as
lines 27 and 40, but it takes for ever even with a good cable modem
connection.
I usually use the DVD as a repo as I suggest in the instructions.
"This can be an openSUSE 10.2 ISO mounted under the local file system as
shown in the default, a complete copy of the openSUSE 10.2 DVD placed
somewhere on the local filesystem\harddrive or using
YaST>miscellaneous>installation server (not installed by default),
building an NFS installation server and pointing the host folder to your
local file system at /srv/exports/instsrc/10_2, so that the above lines
can be modified to. <source path="/srv/exports/instsrc/10_2"/>"
in order to start over you will need to delete the folders:
/srv/kiwi-ltsp/* the root of the thin client chroot (725 MB)
/tmp/kiwi-netboot/* the construction site for the initial boot files (50 MB)
/srv/tftpboot/* the initial boot file location for the PXE boot system (20 MB)
