That still didn't get it.  It may be a NIS issue.  I started setting up NIS at 
one point, and realized it was going to take more effort than I had time for.  
Right now I can't change it because I'm copying the CDs to the installation 
server share point.  That was what I was trying to avoid by pointing to the 
DVD.  I don't have a DVD drive on the installation server, so I wanted to 
point YaST to a shared DVD drive on the network. It's not all that much 
effort to fish the disks.  It's just the principle of the thing.
