Hi, SMB is an installation option but is not the recommended one; do you have an available Linux workstation/server available? NFS installation on a Linux box is easy, especially if you follow the instructions on the z/VM and Linux on IBM System z: The Virtualization Cookbook for SLES9 redbook.

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.
