In my experience I had the same problem where yast failed to read anything from the CDs. However, it worked perfectly after applying the yast update ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/sus/i386/update/7.1/a1/yast.rpm Hope that helps. Eddie On Monday 23 April 2001 12:19, Briggs, N. - Neil - wrote:
Dear List
Please could you offer advice on the following problem. I have just bought a PC and have decided to install SUSE 7.1 professional, kernel 2.2?? not 2.4. The installation went perfectly and I am trying to install the package x3270 series xap. The problem I have is how to achieve this in YAST.
When I select LIST PACKAGES I can see the package, but when I search the source medium ( [X} in the source medium box, [X] in the system box and [X] in the case sensitive box) the search(pf5) returns no such package. As a result there is nothing for me to select to install. I have CD1 in the drive I press pf9 install medium that seems to read the CD.
I know this is probably a very stupid question but I would appreciate it if somebody could spare the time to explain where I am going wrong.
Thanks in advance Neil
