When the consultant who helped us install SUSE Linux, SLES9 and SLES10 on our z/VM system left, he apparently didn't set up the installation files for future use properly.
We have a virtual machine (LXSRC at IP 10.200.1.13) that contains the installation media for SLES9 and SLES10. The plan was that, when other VM's needed to install optional software from the original installation media, they could simply FTP from LXSRC. This seems to work fine for the SLES9 systems, but not for the SLES10 systems. The base SLES10 system that I cloned to create the system I'm working on now, points to the consultant's laptop, which, of course is no longer here. I tried changing the IP address to that of LXSRC. No luck. Upon further examination, the SLES10 directories are essentially empty. However, there is a 4.5GB file named SLES-10-IBM zSeries-DVD1.iso. I'm guessing (and hoping) that this is an iso image of the installation DVD. Is there an easy way to "extract" the files from this iso file and create the source files needed by the software management function on my SLES10 target machine? My fallback plan, if I can't extract the iso, is to somehow ftp the files from four SLES10 installation CD's that I have. I'm also open to any suggestions that I might not have thought of. I'm pretty much a beginner with SUSE Linux. This is the first time I've tried to install and/or modify an existing installation, so I'm learning as I go. Thanks in advance for your help.
