Anas, Thanks for the FAQ -- it's helping me move forward on SLES installation server setup... There are some typos in the example code for 2.5 (HTTP loopback mount of ISO images): printf "/SP3\t/SP3" > yast/order printf "/SLES\t/SLES" > yast/order printf "/UL/CD1\t/UL/CD1" >> yast/order printf "/unitedlinux-i386/CD1\t/unitedlinux-i386/CD1" > yast/instorder printf "/sles8-i386/CD1\t/sles8-i386/CD1" >> yast/instorder printf "/SP3\t/SP3" > yast/instorder first, there is a missing '>' in the second and the last line. second, either the command needs be changed to 'echo -e', or '\n' needs to be added to the end of the strings. third, I'm not sure that the sets of data match. This is the only place I've seen different naming conventions used in the same pair of order/instorder files. The 'order' file refers to '/SLES', and the 'instorder' file refers to '/sles8-i386/CD1' finally, I _think_ to match the directory structure earlier in the example, the correct refernce to SP3 should be '/SP3/CD1' I'm not sure about the last two, as even with with (and without) those changes, I still can't get sles8 sp3 to install via HTTP. --Hal
