Yast2 in SuSE 8.1: Does not allow me to change installation medium
Hello fellow listers! I have just istalled SuSE 8.1 on my home PC. It now exixts in cooperation with WinXP Pro; no problems with that so far. I had to clear the problem with mounting CD or DVD (ref: support knowledgebase (81_ide_scsi). But I now have one serious problem: I can not change source of installation medium in yast. Whatever I try (exept with the CD nr 1 in the cdrecorder (Philips 8x cdrecorder)) I get this error message: "ERROR Unable to create installation source from URL 'dir:///media/dvd/suse/src/'. Details: ERROR(InstSrc:E_no_instsrc_on_media)" What causes this; and what can be done about it?

Same problem at this end. Some how using the suse detailed instructions and manually changing the sym links in additon did not clean up yast. It still wants the CD in the burner which suggests that a manual edit within yast is required. Posted this last week but no response to date. Hope to get a response too. Best /ch

From the suse sdb:
"Package Installation from the CD with YaST2 Not Possible" As root, "hwscan --cdrom". -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
