Installation source cannot be set
Do not know why but after some changes I had made and some which I had to make I am in a mess with my SuSe 8.1. I had to change my video card and am not yet back in KDE. I was missing some programs and thought it a good idea to do that in console. Going into Yast I went to the software part and wanted to download some software from my cdrom. It did not work and after looking into the source of installation I found that there was no source mentioned. Simply adding did not work because Yast protested with an error and said it could not mount my cdrom. I would like to force an input but have no idea where this information is stored. Where is the file with the info and what should be written in it? -- " Every little BYTE helps " NTReader v0.36w(P)/Beta (Registered) in conjunction with Net-Tamer.
We just had a Linux installfest. Two of the participants had new Dell
laptops. I tried to install SuSE 8.2 on it, but it hung up while
configuring packages. I tried about 4 different things, then went to the
Red Hat 9 CDs. Red Hat installed perfectly. I would have tried a
non-graphical install next, but I wanted to get the install moving as we
unexpectedly had more attendees than I thought. One of my key volunteers
was late and the other one was trying to get the wireless router online
with the MIT network.

I guess you used the DVD? I had the same problem with my Inspiron 8100. I just had to use the CD's.... Jerry Feldman wrote:
