http://en.opensuse.org/Network_Install might help.
Well, I'm doing a local install, not a remote install and that page says even less than the one I was using about hpw to run the install, unless I've missed something. Is there some specific information on that page about how to run the install, as opposed to how to prepare for it?
You need to use the location of the actual files of the openSUSE distribution and not the one with the CD/ DVD ISO image files in.
http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/ is the location for 11.1 for example.
OK. I repeated the install as before but changed the directory to "/pub/opensuse/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/" but I still get "No repository found". Was I supposed to do something different?
The mirrorbrain mechanism ensures to redirect your client transparently to the best or closest known mirror seen from your particular network location (AS) if you use http as transport protocol.
Are you saying that I don't need to do an FTP install (as stated on the wiki page) but can do an HTTP one and in that case I can use DNS instead of IP? (I'll try that while I wait for a reply)
Please consider to update or enhance the wiki page if it wasn't clear enough regarding this point.
Will do, once I have a successful procedure :) Thanks, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
