Hi there I'm trying to create a local ftp server, so i can install suse faster on my classrom machines. I have a vsftp running on another server, where i have all the suse files. It's placed under {user ftp root}/suse/i386/9.1/... just like all the mirror sites. I am using a useracount with password(have tried with anonymous no change). The errormessage i get in the installation window "Failed to establish connection". If i try to install using one of the mirrors, it works. the ftp server only log in the messages file: vsftpd: warning: can't get client address: Bad file descriptor the ftp server works and when i try to do an ftp to it, i do think it looks just like when i ftp to the mirror. The files have the same settings, and placed the same way. I have also tried to move the files to my HTTP then i get this error in the httpd error log: Invalid URI in request GET suse/i386/9.1/boot/root HTTP/1.0 Have anyone tried this, please give me a hint or 2, i must be blinded by something with regards Henrik Grevelund
