What do you have under that network share? SLESx expects a specific directory structure that is documented in the release notes on the CD. If you haven't set that up, it will fail. Mike MacIsaac has contributed a "mksles9root.sh" script to do that setup for you. It is available at http://linuxvm.org/Patches/

I have set up an SMB share on a LINUX PC and created the shares as specified in the install.bat file found on the first CD. After I configure the network, I am prompted to specify the installation source (NFS, SAMBA, FTP). I select SAMBA and then enter the IP address of my LINUX PC. It then prompts for the directory of the installation media. I have been entering suseinstall based on the label of Main Folder in the bat file. Is this what I should be using? Then, after the install program runs and I select start installation, I am prompted for the source medium. I select network and then SMB for the network protocol. I enter the IP address of my SMB server and then enter suseinstall as the share name. This fail for CANNOT FIND THE IMAGE. Coding the share name sles9-CD1 seems to work until I get into YaST and it can not find the source data. I guess I am confused as to what to enter where when it comes to accessing the CD's. If anyone can point me to some docs that describe this process, I'd greatly appreciate it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
