I hope this has been already fixed, we currently have an RC4.
What???
On <http://en.opensuse.org/Development_Version> only the RC1 is mentioned. To make sure, I had a look at ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/, and there is only an openSUSE-10.2-RC1 directory, no RC2..4 anywhere.
Are you perhaps confusing the Beta 4 with the release candidate?
No, I'm pretty sure that, at least, RC2 has been tested by the openSUSE community. Some of e-mails here on the mailing-list have RC2 in their subject.
Are you sure you can run such a thing when only the install system from the DVD is running? Shouldn't the network be automatically started by the install system before requesting to add network sources?
Have you tested to know if what you are recommending is feasible? I have my doubts you know what you are suggesting...
Anyway... I have mounted the install system to check:
nimrodel:/mnt # mount -o ro,loop=/dev/loop1 /mnt/dvd/boot/i386/root /mnt/isodvd/ nimrodel:/mnt # ls /mnt/isodvd/etc/init.d/n* /mnt/isodvd/etc/init.d/nfs nimrodel:/mnt # ls /mnt/isodvd/sbin/rc* /mnt/isodvd/sbin/rcopen-iscsi
So... I was right. There is no "network" or "rcnetwork" init script in the install system.
Ah, I see, I had overlooked that this was in inst-sys, sorry for that. Misunderstanding: I thought you were mentioning adding extra-sources after your network is configured and tested. Anyway, if you boot from CD or DVD you should not get any network-related option in "New Add-On Configuration" dialog (or how is it called) such as SLP, HTTP, FTP etc. But if you still want to have network configured during the first-stage installation (int-sys), use a Linuxrc parameter "DHCP=1" at the boot-screen menu ... or you can set a static address using "HostIP=192.168.1.100 Netmask=255.255.255.0 Gateway=192.168.1.1 Nameserver=192.168.1.2 DHCP=0 UseDHCP=0 Domain=your.domain" Of course :) with your own settings... You can consult these (or other) Linuxrc parameters with this document: http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc Have a nice day Lukas
