ya the syntax is ftp://IPADDR/pub/file1 . Looks like in my previous mail the text got incorrectly parsed by the mail reader, because i had typed "<ipaddr>" inplace of "IPADDR". The result turned out to be garbage. I had repeated the experiment with sles9, it works fine. But in suse 9.1, wget still returns the same error message. This happens only while executing from within the ramdisk. wget works fine if it is run from a system installed with suse 9.1. Moreover, the md5sum of these two are different though they are of the same version 1.9.1 thanks kanji Uwe Gansert <ug@suse.de> wrote: On Wednesday 04 January 2006 21:33, kanji linux wrote:
During suse 9.1 autoinstall (x86_64), as part of pre-install preparation, I use wget to retrieve files from my server. But it fails with the following message "Address family not supported by protocol". Heres wget command : wget /pub/file1">ftp:///pub/file1
what kind of weird usage of wget is that? Isn't it just "wget ftp:///pub/file1"?
Any idea what could be the problem here ?
no but using wget during pre-install stage of autoyast actually is not a problem (you need network of course). -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-help@suse.com --------------------------------- Yahoo!
