Re: [SLE] can't install from cd after 8.0 upgrade
No. I have not tried to change installation media. Yes, I'm using Yast2 to update packages. In fact the package xsane was not picked up in the update so that's when I found the problem. I can hack and drag the rpm down from CD number 3 and then install it by hand but it rather defeats the object of buying the cd's in the first place. I want to use Yast2 to look after it for me. Any ideas? Thanks, Steve. On Thursday 09 May 2002 22:16, you wrote:

Hi everyone 7.3 to 8.0 update no problems from the cd set. Everything worked. Now I try to install a new package and I get (e.g):
Please insert CD 2. Could not mount the source medium. mount: error while guessing filesystem type mount: you must specify the filesystem type
The very same CD I'd just installed from. I can mount and read other CD's perfectly.
Any ideas anyone? Thanks, Steve.

Hmm, whats the line for the cdrom in /etc/fstab? Something like? /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 Ewan On Thu, 2002-05-09 at 23:14, steve wrote:

Hi. It's exactly the line you give. I've found a rather nasty workaround: I have to boot from CD1 and choose 'boot installed system'. Then yast 2 works. If I boot normally from the hard disk then nothing. Very annoying. Steve On Thursday 09 May 2002 23:56, Ewan Leith wrote:
