storing yast sources on DVD
Hello suse users: I have a computer which is not connected to the net. I installed suse 10.0 on this machine. I would like to use the different suse yast sources that are available on the net, like packam, guru, KDE updates, GNOME updates etc. I have downloaded these by wget and burned them on DVD. However if add these sources in yast as DVD, they conflict with the suse install DVD. That is, the computer does not know that the sources are divided on more than one DVD and does not offer a "replace DVD" option. Instead it gives an error message that it could not find the needed files/packages on the media. If I add the sources as hard disk directory, I have problems with mounting/unmounting the DVD during installation. So, what would be the right setup for this scenario? Thanks, IG ___________________________________________________________________________ [origo] klikkbank lakossági számlacsomag havi 199 Ft-ért, bankkártya éves díj nélkül! http://www.klikkbank.hu

Either use a dual layer dvd which gives you 8 gig or use an external hdd on usb or sata. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

Thanks for the answer. So it seems it can't be done as I wanted. IG _________________________________________________________________________ Állest Keres? Mi segítünk! Több ezer állásajánlat közül válogathat: http://www.jobpilot.hu
