I have copied the DVD to a partition and shared that nfs.
I can boot the client and point to the nfs drive.
How did you do this?
booted cd 1 from 9.1 choose load kernel modules loaded network card configured network choose install / networkinstall pointed to the nfs share on my laptop (previous poster had done same thing except nfs'd his dvd drive instead) continued install up to the point where you see what it is going to install and get an error message that it can't come up with package selection
It sees the media and starts the install. Everything goes fine until package selection, then it can't figure it out......
So, according to the post I responded to, the is a problem on the DVD's themselves.
I would expect that if the ftp version works with a network install, I should be able to find non-broken config files that are failing on the DVD and replace them. It would be nice to know EXACTLY what is required for YaST to figure out package selection..... filename, content, permissions, flags, etc.
Pointing to the DVD should be enough.
Yes, it should, and it is not. B-)
