[SLE] Using local update mirror during install of 10.1
While a brief bout of googling revealed how to add a local update mirror after install using rug, I could find no mention of how to specify a local mirror for updates during the initial install of the boxed set of SUSE-10.1. With a lot of computers to install on, this would be most useful, especially since doing an update during the install seems to be the cleanest way to fix 10.1's update bug.

I do it during the installation. I do not remember the questions exactly and I was unable to find any screen shots. The question is do you have any additionall pacakges to install? This allows you to add the additional sources. You click on it and then add all your local sources. I have added the following. nfs://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/local/suse/suse/i386/10.1/inst-source nfs://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/local/suse/suse/i386/10.1/non-oss-inst-source nfs://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/local/suse/suse/i386/update/10.1 I add the packman stuff after the original installations. ftp://packman-mirror/suse/10.1 - -- Boyd Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com> ZENEZ 1042 East Fort Union #135, Midvale Utah 84047 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://quantumlab.net/pine_privacy_guard/ iD8DBQFEySVCVtBjDid73eYRAj+GAJ4rnZ/f8sBmbhY2eQq2iLbSIOL8ngCaA+Ip B7fUwgZWEnQWzvhIX+yNLRI= =+UFt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

During Installation its quite difficult to change and not easily possible (i tried by changing /etc/hosts in the background to my testmachine). (suseRegister pushes the urls pretty directly into yast) Later it is possible. In 10.2 it will be a bit easier (in 10.2 alpha you can edit /etc/suse_register.conf to set the urls explicitly).
