On my SOHO server I have mounted the openSUSE DVD iso images [1] under sub-dirs in /mnt/loop/<mount points> e.g. /mnt/loop/osx86-111 The above mount points are exported via Apache (Alias /distros "/mnt/loop/") and /etc/exportfs /mnt/loop 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(ro) From client web brower I can access <server>/distros dir structure. I can also mount <server>:/mnt/loop and browse the sub tree in file manager. So HTTP and NFS are working fine. However, during installation (using NetInstall CD) I get "Repository not found" when I point to the location of the repo to HTTP <server-ip>/distros/osx86-111 and NFS <server>/mnt/loop/osx86-111 combos in the HTTP/NFS dialog box respectively. With CentOS/Fedora iso images the above method works like a charm. I copy a net install image on a USB stick boot from it and complete the installation from the server. (Client machines do not have DVD/CD reader) The openSUSE install failures have forced me to burn a DVD and do the installs using an external USB DVD reader :( Why does the openSUSE installer accept the same tree structure as a "valid" repo when it is installed via a DVD and *not* when it is pointed to a copy of the same via HTTP or NFS? Any pointer to a solution would be much appreciated. [1] md5sums of *all* downloaded iso images match the official numbers; it is not a case of bad media file.
