Can someone please confirm I am entering the site and path appropriately within the "Change source of Installation" module of YaST? Select: Add ftp server Server Name: ftp.suse.com Directory on Server: /pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.2/yast-source Authentication: Anonymous selected User name and password greyed out I still seem to be receiving the ERROR (InstSrc:E_no_instsrc_on_media) each time I try to add a site to the software source table. Not joy with the mirrors either. Am I just unlucky with the loading on these sites or what? I can connect via the browser and establish an ftp session directly to these servers so they seem to be listening. Any comments? Kirb --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

I can't say why it doesn't work for you, I guess the only one around here who can is Chris Mahmood, the suse ftp admin, since he's the only one (that I know of) with access to the logs. I can say though that it worked for me, except I used an http mirror, since they're not connection based, so you don't get a lot of losers with anti-idle crap hogging all the available sessions. The full path to the yast-source directory is what you should put in there.

I believe the error he refers to is what happens whenhe fails to move the ftp/http install source to the top, or in the case of ftp , he failed to break the url into a server and directory part. It worked for me on two different machines with 8.2. I'm about to try with 8.1. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
