[yast-devel] leap installer cannot find server from which HTTP installation was initiated
I spent half an hour configuring partitioning and custom package selection and tabooing after a perfectly normal HTTP startup from Grub with source http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/leap/42.1-Current/repo/os... on kernel cmdline. Then when clicking to proceed after finishing selection, "Cannot access installation media". Retries for 20+ minutes are changing nothing, while this PC has no problem accessing the very same URL. This can't be right. Can the installer be kicked somehow to reprobe DNS or something to make it access what clearly *is* accessible, or does Yesterday's upload to the mirrors have a broken installer WRT network installation? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

So it's not an inaccessible server. It's looking for branding-openSUSE-42.1-4.1.noarch.rpm when what the mirror has is 42.1-4.2. Can this be worked around without restarting and losing the time already invested? I yes, how? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Idea how to achieve it is to save in proposal screen autoyast profile ( so before installation start ). Then if this happen start new installation with this autoyast profile and it should contain all your manually crafted changes.
