They used to differ slightly in contents as there's a bit more space on the DVD. But even if YaST2 complains, you're able to continue working, so what's the hassle?
The hassle is the apparent error message which doesn't tell me if it's OK to procced or not. If it doesn't cause a problem why am I warned?
a) Because if the packages *do* still differ slightly between versions, then some people would want to know - there's an equivalent counter- argument...
b) Because SuSE are busy making the rest of the distro work smoothly, rather than prioritising trivial things like this...
I have to agree w/ Al on this one. I have a small home LAN w/ a DVD drive installed on the server, just for the express purpose of serving the install medium to the other SuSE Linux boxen on my little net. If I do a network install w/ floppies (doesn't always go very smoothly w/ 7.3 at least), mounting the DVD via NFS, no problems later. If I install locally w/ a CDROM, then every darn time I want to access the networked DVD, YAST2 bitches at me at least a couple of times. Very, very annoying. Try putting up w/ it on a regular basis, and you'll find it is very non-"trivial". I posted the problem here a while back, and someone pointed me to their hack/solution, but I could never get it to work right. IMHO, this is something that perhaps YAST2 should be smart enough to handle. YMMV. Monte ===== "All right, breaks over.
