SLES9 single directory network install
The network-install.pdf states: "In the source directory, copy all SLES and CORE into separate directories (CDs can also be copied into one single directory, but to keep a clean structure, CDs can be copied into separate directories, i.e. using the following scheme: CORE9/CD1, CORE9/CD2, CORE9/CD3 . CORE9/CD4, CORE9/CD5 and SLES/CD1.)" It goes on to illustrate the separate directory approach. For testing, I would like to do the single directory approach. I tried copying all the CDs starting the CORE9-CD5 and working down into the same directory, then (based on SLES8 experience) I ran: cp media.2/media media.1/media When I tried to install however, it installed a few packages and then stopped prompting to insert CD2. Any guidance greatly appreciated. Dax Kelson

You can copy SLES and CORE into the same directory, the note above applies to only one. So you could copy all CORE into one dir and the SLES CD into another.
cp media.2/media media.1/media
I am not sure the hack from SLES8 would work here. Anas
