Hello Everyone, I am not able to get 9.1 to install from ftp. The machine properly finds the right files in the beginning, but when yast shows the packages available for installation there are no packages available and no package are available. Yast says "error unable to read medium". I have a dvd mounted on a remote box that's available via ftp with a username and password. Has anyone tried this? Thank You, jeff
Read this 1st. ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.1/README.txt Now sit back and and relax.

Thank You for your reply. I *have* a copy of 9.1 pro. I setup my own personal ftp server on another machine because there is no cdrom on the destination machine.The ftp server is setup to serve the suse 9.1 dvd sitting in its dvdrom. Should this work? Like I said, it accepts the ftp site in the beginning (after network has been setup and it "sees" the files), but when it goes to pre-select the right packages, yast can't find the rpms????? Any ideas? Thanks, jeff
