On the root directory of the NTFS partition I created a directory 'opensuse_11.0' and I copied the contents of the DVD openSuSE 11.0 final to it. I started the computer with the DVD openSuSE 11.0 final and set the installation mode to harddisk: Hardisk was set to /dev/sdd1 Source directory was set to /openSuSE_11.0 I also changed the language to german! (See note below) Configuration of storage devices during yast2 installation: first harddisk notebook /dev/sda second harddisk notebook /dev/sdb usb stick /dev/sdc external harddisk /dev/sdd with /opensuse_11.0 Yast2 started up without problems. On the first screen it was possible to agree to the licence agreement and it was possible to select the installation language and keyboard. During the next step yast2 tried to setup the repository for the installation. This failed with a error message! Error message was: Unable to create repository from URL 'hd:///opensuse_11.0?device=/dev/sdd1&filesystem=auto' not possible. Failed to mount /mounts/mp_1002 on /var/adm/mount/AP_0x00000001 /mounts/mp_1002 does not exit. Note: This error message only appears, if a) I change the language on the boot menu and/or b) I change the installation/keyboard language If I use the default setting for the boot menu (english(US)) and installation language/keyboard (english) there is NO error message.
