Thank You for your reply. I *have* a copy of 9.1 pro. I setup my own personal ftp server on another machine because there is no cdrom on the destination machine.The ftp server is setup to serve the suse 9.1 dvd sitting in its dvdrom. Should this work? Like I said, it accepts the ftp site in the beginning (after network has been setup and it "sees" the files), but when it goes to pre-select the right packages, yast can't find the rpms????? Any ideas?
I can't really test it here right now, but can't you set the ftp server to log what's going on? Maybe there's a bug when using a user/pwd login?! Logs are indispensable when bug tracking
I'm guessing you're seeing the same thing I'm seeing, if you can see your logs: May 11 21:20:55 db2 ftpd[4030]: connection from db10.local May 11 21:20:55 db2 ftpd[4030]: <--- 220 May 11 21:20:55 db2 ftpd[4030]: db2.ole.net FTP server (Version 6.5/OpenBSD, linux port 0.3.3) ready.

Seems as though the install program that loads is looking for a non-existent file and crashing as a result. It does the same thing regardless of which method I try, smb nfs ftp.... I'd say it's a misconfiguration of the install setup on the boot image... or some such. Needless to say, after swearing off 9.1 I am trying again. This time I decied to procede a little more slowly and try to document the errors so that we could perhaps get them fixed. -- Brad Shelton On Line Exchange http://www.ole.net Phone: 313-526-1111 Fax: 313-526-3333
