Thanks to help from Jens, I've not got a working sles 8 sp 3 http install server setup. Here are the corrections to the FAQ instructions: Add missing symlink command: ln -sf SLES/content Correct generation of yast/order and yast/instorder: printf "/SP3/CD1\t/SP3/CD1\n" > yast/order printf "/SLES\t/SLES\n" >> yast/order printf "/UL/CD1\t/UL/CD1\n" >> yast/order printf "/UL/CD1\n" > yast/instorder printf "/SLES\n" >> yast/instorder printf "/SP3/CD1\n" >> yast/instorder Note that if you also need an SP 2a version, you would ADD the following steps: mkdir -p SP2a/{CD1,CD2} mount -o loop /archive/iso/UnitedLinux-1.0-SP-2a-i386-RC1-CD1.iso SP2a/CD1 mount -o loop /archive/iso/UnitedLinux-1.0-SP-2a-i386-RC1-Source.iso SP2a/CD2 And change the SP3 references in the yast/order & yast/instorder file to SP2a NOTE that the symlinks in the root of the install server remain the same for a different service pack. You still need the boot information from SP3, and the pointers to media.1 and content from base SLES work fine. --Hal
