Hi,

I am trying to install sles9 on a z9 processor. I am doing a network
installation. my installation source file are in my win/xp pc.
Here is what i did.

1) Run the install.bat from the sles9 CD1  /dosutils/install/install.bat.
2) This created the directory structure and copied the files to my
harddrive

suseinstall
suseinstall/sles9/CD1
suseinstall/core9/CD1
suseinstall/core9/CD2
suseinstall/core9/CD3
suseinstall/core9/CD4
suseinstall/core9/CD5

3) I created sharename in winxp

share name:

suseinstall
sles9CD1
core9CD2
core9CD3
core9CD4
core9CD5
sp3CD1
sp3CD2
sp3CD3

4) updated the instorder and order file from the /suseinstall/yast
directory

my instorder looks like this:

/sles9/CD1
/core9/CD1
/core9/CD2
/core9/CD3
/core9/CD4
/core9/CD5
/sp3/CD1
/sp3/CD2
/sp3/CD3

my order file looks like this

/sles9/CD1 smb://winuser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/sles9CD1
/core9/CD1 smb://winuser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/core9CD1
/core9/CD2 smb://winuser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/core9CD2
/core9/CD3 smb://winuser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/core9CD3
/core9/CD4 smb://winuser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/core9CD4
/core9/CD5 smb://winuser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/core9CD5
/sp3/CD1 smb://winuser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/sp3CD1
/sp3/CD2 smb://winuser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/sp3CD2
/sp3/CD3 smb://winuser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/sp3CD3

i boot up from cdrom, configure the network. when i am prompted for the
installation directory, i put 'suseinstall'
Then i enter userid and password and then start yast.
When i run YAST, after the disk configuration , i keep getting the
following error under "SOFTWARE":

Cannot read package data from installation media. Media error ?
error : No proposal

Can anyone tell me how to isolate this further ? Does this mean i have a
corrupted CD  (one of the them is corrupted) ?

I tried just putting the sles9/CD1 and core9/CD1 on the instorder and order
file. but i still get the same message.

TIA

Caleb
