That's exactly what you want to specify to the install script....the path to the "root" of the DVD, i.e., the mount point of the DVD.

Hmmmm...I could try that, but I tried to stay with the way the DVDs are layed 
out (/pub/outgoing/Suse being equivalent to the root of the DVDs).

Subject: Re: Install of SLES 11 via FTP...

I'm thinking you don't want that extra 'SUSE' -- just  /pub/outgoing/Suse
for the directory on the server...  ?

I'm having installing SLES 11 via FTP into a virtual machine.   I get to
the point where I'm receiving:  *** No repository found.

I'm thinking that it's my directory structure on the FTP server.

I entered the following:

Enter the IP address of the FTP server
Ý10.2.0.99¨>

Enter the directory on the server
Ý/pub/outgoing/Suse/SUSE¨>

Do you need a username and password to access the FTP server?

1) Yes
2) No

2

Use a HTTP proxy?

1) Yes
2) No

*** No repository found.

Here's how I have it structured:
