[SLE] NFS install of 9.3 from downloaded FTP directory
I am having some problems doing an NFS install of SuSE 9.3. I've done plenty of NFS installs with both SuSE and RedHat and have never had any problems. I've downloaded all of the files off of an ftp mirror [ftp.oregonstate.edu]. I downloaded all the files that I thought were necessary [all the files at the top level of the 9.3 directory, the boot, docu, dosutils, media.1, and suse directories]. I did not however not download the nosrc, src, and x86_64 directories because I didn't see them on the .iso files, plus I don't need the 64-bit files because it is a 32-bit system. I'm not using the .iso files because PostgreSQL is not included. I put the files on another system, shared out the directory to the world with read rights, and connect to the NFS share just fine to do the install, it is when it comes to the graphical part where it tells you what it is going to do with your system is that it says it can't find the installation files. I have the i586, i686, noarch, and setup directories in a suse directory that resides in the NFS share. Isn't this all that I need? I'm not entirely certain what I should be looking for, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You -Ubence

You need the nosrc directory as it contains some necessary packages.

You could use them and simply d/load postgres and any dependencies you need, or point yast at the ftp site after initial install.

You need all the files in the 9.3 directory, ./boot ./media.1 and parts of ./suse (not sure if ./docu is needed) Dylan -- "The man who strikes first admits that his ideas have given out." (Chinese Proverb)
