I just tried this on an Intel SLES8 system, and it worked for me. When you do an "ls -la" on /install/cd1/, do the "contents" file and "media.1" directory show up?

When I 1st installed SuSE, I was using a ftp server on my local PC, but due to new network restrictions, I know need to change it. I've tried copying the CD images over to the Linux instance and mounting them on the loop device, and I tried to change the installation source to Local Directory in YaST, but I keep getting a error message saying 'Unable to create installation source from URL 'dir:///install/cd1/' Details: ERROR(InstSrc:E_no_instsrc_on_media) '. I have the service pack CD image also copied into this instance, mounted on a loop device, and YaST has no problem with it. The difference is that the service pack was always defined as a local directory and I didn't need to change it. Has anyone else run across this problem and resovled it?
