More on this: I just noticed that on my www server that when yast tries to add a repo it looks for this: /pub/opensuse/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/repodata/repomd.xml HTTP/1.1" 404 1040 "-" "Novell ZYPP I nstaller" There is no such repodata folder or xml file either in suse.mirrors.tds.net nor on my local copy of it. could this be part of the problem? why is yast looking for it? thanks Rene Andreas Jaeger wrote:

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?
Double check the path.
?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?
You do not need novell-zmd running, you can just disable it,
Andreas
