Was this the wrong place to ask this? I have gotten no responses at all. :( On Tuesday 13 July 2004 08:40, Misty Stanley-Jones wrote:
I have used rsync to download the entire 9.1 tree to an internal server. It's shared in ftp, http, and nfs. I burned the boot.iso and booted a client with it. The client can find the install image, no mattre what method I use. However, it always says later on that it can't find any packages. I have all the rpms in the proper places, and I have everything under suse/setup/descr/. I have noticed that if I click on "Detailed selection" it is looking for "user.sel" which does not exist anywhere. I suspect that the install links this to default.sel unless you choose a different profile. I have checked that default.sel is there and is readable by the client.
Someone told me there were issues with the shared-out directory being called 9.1 so I changed it to "current." I am sharing it read-only to my entire subnet. Also there is no firewall in the way, and there are no error messages on the server during the install.
Please let me know what I am doing wrong here! I have seen several similar problems but no solution.
