This is why I prefer to use http servers for this sort of thing. I can figure out from the logs what is being looked for, and where. If you have the option of activating IIS on your Windows system, I would recommend trying that. If not, then booting a Knoppix CD may be of help.

It loaded the CDs into what seem to be the proper directories. I defined the shares per the instructions. I can boot the starter system from the reader and define the network. I tell it to use Samba and give it the share. Yast starts up but when I get the panel with the proposal for the installation, the section under Software says " Cannot read package data from installation media. Media error?" It does seem to boot a second starter system from the share just before it starts YaST. Beats me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
