SuSE 9 install gotcha...
Hi, I've had this - don't know if anyone else has. Can't install SuSE from the DVD if the drive is the secondary slave (fails to read package database). Works fine if it's the secondary master. -- Chris Smith http://www.infinitemonkeys.org.uk/

Interesting. What are the exact error messages that you get when you try to install from a "slave DVD"? Greetings from Bremen hartmut

Simply "packages could not be read from source media" in the first YaST installation selection. I swapped the drives over (I have two drives on that IDE chain) and it worked fine. Not usually a problem unless you have more than one CD/DVD drive. -- Chris Smith http://www.infinitemonkeys.org.uk/
