I went thru the same garbage. Worked fine with Sles8, but not Sles9. I
thought it might be a network problem so I installed another Sles8
image, and made it an FTP server for SLES9 installation. Same problem.
Turns out that the solution, in my case, was to change the FTP server
to allow a client to "chroot_local_user=YES". And then it worked fine.
This was using VSFTPD.
I didn't try going back to Win/2000 and change the FTP server I had
there (assumming that it has the same parameter), but that did the trick
for me.

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.
