Hi,

How can I change the source of installation in YaST (SuSE 8.1)?

I installed 8.1 from CDs and then I copied all CDs to /home/SuSE-8.1
in the following way:

cd /home/SuSE-8.1
malusek@tchang:/home/SuSE-8.1> ls CD1
ARCHIVES.gz  COPYRIGHT       INDEX.gz      README      ...
COPYING      COPYRIGHT.yast  LIESMICH      README.DOS  ...
malusek@tchang:/home/SuSE-8.1> ls CD2
COPYING      COPYRIGHT       INDEX.gz    TRANS.TBL    boot     ls-lR.gz  suse
COPYING.tex  COPYRIGHT.yast  SuSEgo.ico  autorun.inf  content  media.2
...

If I select the "Change source of installation" in YaST, "hard disk",
and browse to "/home/SuSE-8.1" then I receive the following error
message:

Unable to create installation source from URL
'dir:///home/SuSE-8.1/CD1' A source with the same product already
exists.

I used this method in 8.0 to install additional packages without the
time consuming changing of CDs.
