How to install 9.3 from network using DVD and samba?
Hi! Hopefully somebody here has done this... could not find anything from google. My main computer crashed (well it was an old one...). So now I'm setting up a "new" computer (another old PIII :-). I have the DVD for SuSE 9.3 Pro, but the computer does not have a DVD player. Another Windows laptop does have. So, what I though I'd do is to start the installation over the network using windows sharing of the DVD. directory on the server: I have no idea what to put here. The default is /. Then comes the login information for the server. Now, if I leave the directory empty, the installation will not start. If I enter the default /, the installation starts and I see network sage from the Windows laptop using task manager. So the share works. Well, this far it is. After that I'll get to the YaST. Language settings and then Installation settings. Everything else looks there just like I expected... except the Software selection, which states: "No source found at "smb://USER:PASSWORD@192.168.1.101/suse//;workgroup=home" and "ERROR: No proposal" What now? What am I doing wrong? -- HG.

can you mount the SMB share via shell (CTRL+F2 to get to the shell).
