Hy, I'm using openSUSE 10.2 with great satisfaction, but when I trie with Yast to make a new installation source in a local directory /windows/C/MyDownloadFiles/ it reacts with: Can't make installation source. Unknown source type for dir:///windows/C/MyDownloadFiles/

Why this? May be I did something wrong, but what?

Thanks for suggestions

Hi André, it's nice to hear that you're happy with openSUSE. :) If I understood you correctly, you want to use a local installation source, thus files you (probably) downloaded. First of all, did you fetch an iso or source files? Either way, I assume they are located in /windows/C/MyDownloadFiles/... (or maybe a subdirectory?). In case of adding a local installation source, one has to specify exactly the (sub)directory where the directories "suse", "media.1", "boot" and so on are present. So, could it be possible that you haven't specified the right path? For instance, it could look like this: /windows/C/MyDownloadFiles/openSUSE-10.2/i386/DVD1 Greetings, Alex
