Folks, We finally made our purchase of Suse linux. Been running some Suse 8 images on and off for some time in an evaluation. Closed off to the outside world cause I couldn't keep them patched. Now I can. SO, I get the box and it's Suse 9 enterprise 64 bit. Okay what the hey, I figure I might as well install it. Well after fighting off network issues, VLAN unaware 8 images -vs- VLAN aware 9 image, I get the yast portion. I was used to using VNC, but I can't get that to fire up YAST, so I switch to SSH. OKAY, now I have YAST running and all my disk stuff and partitioning, but it can't find the install stuff. I get a Cannot read package data from installation media. Error no proposal. So I search some and I find some posts on it regarding specific drive paths and a pointer of some doc that I find on cd1. SO, is it really true that I can no longer just FTP from a cdrom on my lap top, that I'm going to have to copy the cd's to a place and make sure the paths are correct? IF so, why did an install process that was so danged easy migrate to this? I'm highly urinated on a Friday at this point.
