The server does not have to be running any sort of "YaST server program." I set up my Intel Slackware system to be a SLES9 installation server, and it definitely isn't running anything other than what comes on Slackware.
The key, as you indicate, is the directory structure and symbolic links. If you use Mike MacIsaac's mksles9root.sh script, all that will be done for you.

In SLES8 you could copy all the CDs into one directory and it would work. In SLES9 they fixed that. The CDs need to be in a particular structure with some links and the server has to be running a YaST server program. tom ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
