Hi Bjorn, thanks for your input. I have to say that I really don't know how to respond to your comments other than to say that it worked. If you can tell me why it shouldn't work perhaps I can edit the howto, but these are the steps that I took. Please explain your comments further.
Thanks, Mark
The steps you have outlined are not wrong themselves, they are perfectly valid in case the dns doesn't work and one has to put in the ip address manually. Now the reason for your install to have worked using that is the serverip I can only guess, I suspect the suse installer defaulted to using download.opensuse.org/right-path-to-installfolder/ by itself. What I pointet out is that most of the time it's not needed as it should be put in automagically, but it's possible I remember wrong. the right ip address if the mirror you used is 64.50.236.216 192.168.0.1 is NOT a valid public ip. Read about it here http://compnetworking.about.com/od/routers/g/192_168_0_1_def.htm or google the ip if you want (or better yet, put in that address in your firefox or whatever browser you prefer) try using ping suse.mirrors.tds.net and see if you do not get a different result than you did using dig Bjørn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
