That assumes pin was not one of the many items that went missing when you installed from the truncated distribution. pin distcc bash: pin: command not found Along with cyrus-imap which is now completely hoses. The best I can tell, there's no straightforward means of transferring the DVD onto a harddrive to distribute over the network. When I finally realized the reason my mail server wasn't starting was that it was removed, I installed the upgrade from the network, and fumbled around for quite some time trying to figure out how to get it put back together. When I finally did get it put back to gether, that resulted in discovering a rather nasty bug involving Cyrus and DB4. http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2005/01/27/0031.html I, of course assumed the problem was due to something I had done wrong in the configuration. I really, really, really wish there were a way to use the DVD to set up the Installation Server. It would have made my life so much easier. -- Regards, Steven

The command "pin" is not installed by default, but it is indeed included in the DVD. Just fire up Yast and install it. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFCq3MUtTMYHG2NR9URArKxAKCJaQRMiP88G6PjabgJrGg6JlzPHwCbBe1M c+XAAUcqR1gUQ9Y5M29RQVU= =eluJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

That's the problem. I can't say for certain if pin is one of the packages omitted from the CDs, but there are a number of packages which I had to subsequently fetch from the network on the systems that don't have a DVD drive. The Installation Server won't take the DVD, so, until I can figured out a way of getting the DVD on the network, I still had to jump through hoops to install a lot of stuff. And the first time through, I did not realize what I was getting into. I tried copying the entire DVD image to a haddrive and share it out on the network, but until I figured out how to mount the dvd over NFS (see the other thread), that was not an option. I just got that problem solved, but that's after my upgrades are complete. My IMAP server is still hosed, and I believe it will stay that way for the foreseeable future. I now know enough to avoid this in the future, but it was quite a surprise to find that my subversion server simply wasn't there, as well as my IMAP server, not to mention a few other odds and ends. I guess I can understand the reason this happened. I know us users put a lot of pressure on SuSE to put out a new, and substantially enhanced release on a regular, and frequent basis. Stuff like this is bound to happen. -- Regards, Steven

Ah, CDs. Yes, the CDs are lacking a lot of rpms compared to the DVD. A pity, or a pain, I agree. I'm fortunate not to need them, but that, alas, is not always the case.

I have not done that with 9.3, but with another version I have indeed exported my DVD drive entirely over NFS, and installed from it in a LAN. I just told Yast to export that directory, using the nfs server section. Of course, to do that, I think you will have to first dissable automounting fo the DVD and mount it manually. If that is the case, ask again, and I'll expand on it (or search the archive, it was published here (question abaout a floppy drive, I think). And, even better, if you simply copy the whole dvd to your HD, it will work much faster.

I don't know, I have running every thing I need, 9.3 works much better than other versions I tried previously. Maybe it is related to your installing from CDs, dunno. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFCrOZRtTMYHG2NR9URAr0VAJ4xhr+6nWA2zud0puiIxJZ7XmEDpACgiyEv u4s5FPlA5mCJDjBvysblzPM= =xAgd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
