How on earth can I use a mirror, if the network is down, has not been configured? Please read again my email and explain.
ping says unknown host, remember... Yeah, you're right. That was too fast.
I don't know how to bring the network up because I don't know why it's down.
But once it's up and running, don't even think of adding ftp.opensuse.org.
Reading the previous mail again, it seems to be lacking some information: Does this happen during installation? Or in the installed system? What exactly are you doing, what happened until then etc.
I'm doing an update or upgrade from 10.1 to 10.2-RC1 - it is not a fresh install (the 10.1 is a test partition installed almost on purpose to test this procedure).
This is important: it is not a fresh install. It is an update of an already installed system. I'm testing the 10.1 to 10.2 update. Many configuration questions are skipped by the installer program, becauseit only has to look at the installed old system to know them.
Boot from 10.2-RC1 DVD, get to the question of what I want to do, select update system, click on add on sources, and a bit further on, it requests me to add those sources. Fails to add them, no network yet.
This is before the window where the info of what it is going to install/update/whatever appears. I had to cancell the add on sources to get to the next window, but there is nothing about network there.
So I aborted, and I await for instructions :-}

Doing the same upgrade here, YOU failed because the network was not up. I tried twice with Network Manager, everything looked OK but ifconfig lacked an IP address. Used the old ifup method and that worked. I didn't file a bug as I was busy with the problem where I couldn't add an Installation Source and it YOU couldn't mount the DVD either - bug #222521, fixed by applying the patch given to libzypp-2.9.1-5 source rpm.
