adding net install source OSS-10.1
hello all, has something changed when adding installation sources from 10.0 to 10.1 for network installation because it's not working as i expect it to? my directory structure layout is: /pub/suse/i386/SL-10.1 |-- inst-source |-- non-oss-inst-source |-- yast `-- instorder `-- order host:/pub/suse/i386/SL-10.1/inst-source/yast # cat instorder /non-oss-inst-source / host:/pub/suse/i386/SL-10.1/inst-source/yast # cat order /non-oss-inst-source /non-oss-inst-source / my setup for OSS-10.0 is nearly identical but it has 2 addition install sources, inst-source-extra and inst-source-java as appose to non-oss-inst-source. i've read thru Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories and Network_Installation_Source but nothing about this is mentioned so i'm a bit confused as to why this is not working. thanks -- Darin Perusich Unix Systems Administrator Cognigen Corporation 395 Youngs Rd.

thanks uwe. does the add_on_products file handle multiple media_url types for the same location? i might have one group of systems installing over nfs and another group installing over http. this seems less flexible to me then the yast/order and yast/instorder method. -- Darin Perusich Unix Systems Administrator Cognigen Corporation 395 Youngs Rd.

that might lead into trouble, especially when "both" sources are available.
i might have one group of systems installing over nfs and another group installing over http.
why is that?

actually it's not. With order/instorder you have to copy the files to your inst-source. WIth the addon file, you can specify sources that are not on your inst-server system. In your case, I think you have to maintain the inst-source two times (maybe with a lot of sym-links between them and two different addon-products files). -- 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

while i install most of my systems over nfs i have a small group of systems that are in a DMZ and can only access the install server via http. -- Darin Perusich Unix Systems Administrator Cognigen Corporation 395 Youngs Rd. Williamsville, NY 14221 darinper@cognigencorp.com

so why not use http for all? Anyway, it's your decision and I'm sure you have your reasons. I'm afraid you have to work with sym-links then. -- 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
