instserver in pre SUSE-10.0 distros
Hi list, have a question regarding the instserver setup since opensuse/SUSE 10.1 Beta releases. Until know it was quite easy to setup an instserver with a "stream" directory and mounted isos. I mostly used following setup: ls -ls <http-install-source> media -> /inst/suse/media content -> media/SUSE-PROF/9/i386/CD1/content control.xml -> media/SUSE-PROF/9/i386/CD1/control.xml media.1 -> media/SUSE-PROF/9/i386/CD1/media.1 boot yast driverupdate -> xxx directory.yast I could loop-mount the isos to the media-dir (CD1 to CDX) and everything worked fine. When I pointed the installdir to http://my_installserver_/http-install-source AutoYast found all CD's, the additional media.x Dirs, setup/description files, RPM's and other. Since the 10.x Releases this setup does not work for me anymore. I now have to copy all CD's in one directory. Yast looks for media.1 .. media.x in this directory If Autoyast does not find the directories suse, media.{2,3,4,5} then it will stop to work. This directories where not required until now. The autoyast routines in initrd seem to have changed. This design does not allow me to work with loop mounted isos. I could work with unionfs to go round this but that would more complicate the setup. Does anybody know how to get it working like the old fashion?

I always use: install=http://192.168.66.1/10.1_install/CD1 which is working fine. The other CDx directories are on the same level like CD1. -- 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
Hi Uwe, thanks - that should help in most cases. But what if I want to combine several products?
