Hi, Got another problem now. I have managed to mirror both opensuse 10.1 and the suse updates 10.1. I have them both on a www server on our internal network 10.0.x.x. I have several clients on our internal network that need to install and update from this www mirror i made. When I try to add an intallation source via yast I always get this error message: Unable to create installation source ? ?from URL 'http://10.0.0.9/pub/opensuse/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-sour? ?Details: ? ?Cannot create the installation source ? ?Try again? Is this related to the novell-zmd stuff that is running on the servers? Do I need to have this novell-zmd thing running? These are servers and no one but root needs to be able to install software so I don't really need novell-zmd right? What I am missing here? Thanks Rene Andreas Jaeger wrote:

Hi list,
I am trying to mirror the suse 10.1 distro locally to make it easier for me to install and update all our suse x86_64 boxes.
I have managed to use rsync to get a working mirror of Suse 10.1 which I used to install on a bunch of x86_64 servers.
I can do this with this rsync line:
rsync -avP --delete rsync://suse.mirrors.tds.net/opensuse-full/ /scratch/
The updates directory for updates to 10.1 don't seem to be in this rsync module. Does anyone know where the suse 10.1 updates are located and what the rsync line to mirror it would be ?
It's on ftp.suse.com and it's mirrors - and not on ftp.opensuse.com and it's mirrors.
I found this on the suse site but can't seem to get my servers using yast to check for updates there any ideas?
The path should be:
http://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/suse/update/10.1
Just register it,
Andreas
