Hi Nigel, I ran into the same problem when installing SLES 8 from my PC, using SMB. I was told that there are some problems using SMB or FTP to a PC with this type of install. I was able to get past this problem by doing a NFS install, which worked much better!

Hi again! I sorted out the last problem around PROFILE TCPIP and it turns out it was an intentional routing restriction which I have now resolved, so thanks to Carlos for that line of enquiry. Anyway I've now got another problem. I've successfully selected the vnc installation method and have loaded the first bits using SMB from my PC's CD drive. The DASD have been formatted and partitioned and I then get to the YaST2 Installation Settings screen. But under the section 'Software' it gives the error: 'Not enough disk space even for a minimal installation!'. I have a root partition of 2.2 GB so space should not be a problem. When I click on the Software link and go to the 'YaST2 Software Selection' screen then click on 'Detailed Selection' I find that it is empty. I've found a couple of indications on the web that suggest that this may be a CD error but can't find anything on the Suse web site. Can anyone confirm if this is indeed the problem? And if not are there any other suggestions? As always, many thanks in advance!
