[Bug 386484] New: Beta2 DVD network install "Directory on Server" preset with "/"
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=386484 Summary: Beta2 DVD network install "Directory on Server" preset with "/" Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 2 Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: casualprogrammer@yahoo.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer When performing a network installation from the openSuSE 11.0 Beta2 DVD after setting up the NIC the IP-Address of the Server as well as the Directory on Server are asked for. The input field for Directory on Server is preset with a dash ("/") implicitly suggesting that it's needed (i.e. /distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/ ), while in fact using it effectively disables network install. Also the necessary repositories should be preset (as in the boot.iso), new users will spend quite some time digging for them. http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/ http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-Factory-non-oss/inst-source-ext... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

People use all kind of repos with it, ftp/http users should use the mini iso. So I disagree and WONTFIX -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Programmer <casualprogrammer@yahoo.com> 2008-05-08 06:21:13 MST --- Wouldn't it be advisable to remove or disable that possibility completely from the DVD, rather than have people waste their time on it and get frustrated ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
