how to use ftp install with 8.0 cd version bugfix?
Shalom, is there allready a bugfix that makes it possible to us ethe ftp installation of addditional software from ftp for thos who installed 8.0 from cd? Everytime i try to set enter an ftp mirror in yast i get the message that a portmapper cant recieve. someone told me that the reason is that ftp installation is not yet implemented. Would it be a good idea to deinstall all yast realted stuff and apply the yast packages from ftp? Isn't there a slim workaround where i just have to change some few lines of script or config to enable ftp? (ftp works great with prowsers or the standard ftp proggy) regards, andi

And I already wrote you on the german list that this error will only come when trying to do a NFS install. FTP does not need the portmapper, period. So it seems as though you're trying to pass the path of the FTP server to the NFS installation, which will never work.

Why deinstall? You could simply update YaST2 and modules. But I'd *really* check if you can't upgrade via YOU.

Definitely *not*. My colleagues worked hard at coding the part that does the installation via FTP and there's much more to it then changing a script or configuration. Philipp

There is yust no way in yast2 like in you to select "ftp" as source. So i thought "network" would be the right thingy. unfortunately this means nfs, not ftp.
