I finally had a chance to try the find command that Mark Post suggested. Here are the results. To refresh your memory, when I try to install tomcat5, I get an error saying that it can't find xalan.
lxsrc:/sles10 # find /sles10/sles10root/dvd1 -type f -name "xalan*.rpm" /sles10/sles10root/dvd1/suse/noarch/xalan-j2-manual-2.6.0-21.2.noarch.rpm /sles10/sles10root/dvd1/suse/noarch/xalan-j2-javadoc-2.6.0-21.2.noarch.rpm /sles10/sles10root/dvd1/suse/noarch/xalan-j2-2.6.0-21.2.noarch.rpm /sles10/sles10root/dvd1/suse/noarch/xalan-j2-demo-2.6.0-21.2.noarch.rpm /sles10/sles10root/dvd1/suse/src/xalan-j2-2.6.0-21.2.src.rpm lxsrc:/sles10 # So, the rpm files for xalan DO appear to be there, but it seems that the install procedure on the target system is not looking for them in the right place. Right? How do I tell the target system where to find these files? The install files reside on an FTP server, named lxsrv. I'm trying to install tomcat5 on a server in a different virtual machine, named lxgwarc. Using Yast, and pointing to the IP address and mount point of the install files on the FTP server. Thanks for all your help.

Sounds like a good time for an introduction to the find command: find /sles10/sles10root/dvd1 -type f -name "xalan*rpm" The other thing you want to do (probably best during a low CPU utilization period for your machine) is to verify the size and the md5 checksum for the .iso file itself: md5sum "SLES-10-IBM zSeries-DVD1.iso" ac2adb5a89be5d96d9142101429d619c SLES-10-IBM zSeries-DVD1.iso ls -l "SLES-10-IBM zSeries-DVD1.iso" -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4514115584 2006-07-06 00:29 SLES-10-IBM zSeries-DVD1.iso Mark Post ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
