Hi all out there, I've being waiting for the new 10.1 release to reinstall a laptop computer and regain access to my starts to Linux. Even as a freshman, the network installation option seems to me pretty convenient. But I'm not able to follow the instructions at http://en.opensuse.org/Released_Version#Internet_Installation to get the installation done. I've download the ISO of the boot CD, reboot the computer from this CD and go through the first steps of the installation configuring my network card. But I never reach Yast, only some windows asking me about the protocol and server to be used. Please, could you tell me to what server must I point my computer to reach the installation sources? Thank you in advance, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez XEN, Resources Management

and did you anwser that?

as server you can use download.opensuse.org and there go to the "installation repository" for your kind of hardware distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/ jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

Same problem here. could never connect to the http server at http://download.opensuse.org I was able to connect to an ftp mirror though, in my case it was suse.mirrors.tds.net (216.165.129.140), the directory is /pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source I was looking for the x86_64 install source, which not all mirrors had. You may find a more convenient source here: http://en.opensuse.org/Mirrors_Released_Version -- Jim Barnes -- Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you; if you don't bet, you can't win. -Lazarus Long -- Linux 2.6.15-22-386

I haven't been able to get network install to work locally, though I've used that method with the previous couple of versions.

I have been able to get it to work. I used
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source
ftp://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source
Expect long waits and retries. But it does work. I used the mini ISO
with the above.

I have found that ftp://chuck.ucs.indiana.edu/pub/linux/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source is a solid and fast mirror. It limits one connection per IP though. Usually any college mirror will be quick.

I was referring to install from my own source. I have made the disks available on my own network via NFS. Always worked until now.

I finally downloaded the entire inst-source and non-oss-inst-source and
was able to install from them as well with NFS. But I did not try
the CD's or mounting them and installing. I know in the past when I have
had problems with CD images mounting them all in one directory worked. I
have not tried it with 10.1. So you may be right, I can't say.

I made the inst-source available via http and hd. Finally I could use a hd as installation source on the boot prompt! :)) James: I have no experience with installing over NFS. The advantage of installing over http is that every access attempt is logged on the server, whether it had success or not (apache logs). Shot in the dark: perhaps the export permissions are not correct? If you like us to help you with it, perhaps you could post the error messages? Cheers, Leen

I just had an NFS shared directory available, which contains the various distros. I don't recall the exact message, but the install said it couldn't find the source, even though I specified the exact location, as I always do. I'll have to see if I can find anything else, next time I attempt to install it.

If you're sure you specified the correct url, then there's probably something wrong with the contents of the source. I'm curious on what file the installation breaks. This would e.g. show up in the apache logs as a missing file or so [if exporting by http, of course ;) ]. Does NFS show something similar in the logs? Cheers, Leen

If they did, those logs are long gone, as I recently installed 10.1 on that system, from CD.
