HTTP installation of SLES80?
All, Is there any existing documentation on performing SuSE installs via HTTP? I've tried setting up a media repository in the same fashion as described for NFS installs and have yet to get it working. The same repository layout works beautifully when actually used via NFS. In case there is no documentation available - The HTTP installation is failing with a "Error while configuring software selections. Please try again" message dialogue. HTTP traffic for the failed attempt was as follows: http://server/SLES80/boot/root http://server/SLES80/content http://server/SLES80/media.1/info.txt http://server/SLES80/media.1/products http://server/SLES80/media.1/media http://server/SLES80/SuSE-Linux-SLES-i386/CD1/content http://server/SLES80/media.1/media http://server/SLES80/UnitedLinux-i386/CD1/content http://server/SLES80/SuSE-Linux-SLES-i386/CD1/suse/setup/descr/packages* http://server/SLES80/SuSE-Linux-SLES-i386/CD1/suse/setup/descr/*.sel http://server/SLES80/UnitedLinux-i386/CD1/UnitedLinux/setup/descr/packages* http://server/SLES80/UnitedLinux-i386/CD1/UnitedLinux/setup/descr/selections http://server/SLES80/UnitedLinux-i386/CD1/UnitedLinux/setup/descr/*.sel http://server/SLES80/media.1/media http://server/SLES80/yast/order http://server/SLES80/yast/instorder http://server/SLES80/yast/sles8/content http://server/SLES80/yast/ul/content Due to the multiple occurrances of the "media.1/media" file I am currently under the impression that I am going to need to tweak the various "content" and "product" files to coerce the installer to do what I intend. Any hints or suggestions before I head down this path? Thanks in advance, -- Mike Cumings
Hi, This is a known issue and among other things, it will be fixed with the upcoming service pack. Anas Mike Cumings wrote:

As far as I am aware the http installation under SLES 8 is broken. I did feed this back to SuSE a long time ago and I am not shure if it ever got fixed but I belive not. If it has been fixed I would be very much interested to where the fixes are. Best regards Hubba On Tue, 16 Sep 2003, Mike Cumings wrote:
