Dave, On CD1, read the file /docu/RELEASE-NOTES.en.html, in particular the section named "Setting up an installation server for network installations" about a third of the way in.

My installation server is an Intel box, running SuSE SLES9. The Intel box has a great deal of disk storage available, so I just put the 6 .iso files onto the server. I just do a simple mount -o loop -t iso9660 to make the cd images available. So far, so good. After booting the initial SLES9 install VM kernel and ram disk, in a 512M virtual machine and getting the networking setup and working (eth0 on a QDIO gLAN) without too much difficulty, I choose SSH and FTP for performing the basic installation, and I specify location of the install media as /CD1 (where I have mounted the CD1.iso file). I then log on, using SSH and start yast. After successfully creating the dasd partitions and making the mount points, yast reports the following error: Cannot read package data from installation media. Media error? On the Intel SLES9 server, I can navigate and view the files on /CD1, and they all appear OK. Anybody got a clue as to what's wrong? TIA.
