Hi Mark
Thanks for the offer
Another day of frustration and still no progress - but I now know more about
setting up NFS ;)
I have encapsulated my project into a VirtualBox VM
I have Ubuntu 10.10 and Hercules 3.07
The RHEL installation is now stable - and ready for moving the project
forward.
I now want to try installing SLES so I used my RHEL herc.conf and just added
two mod9's at 130 and 131 and ipl'ed the SLES installer.
I have an FTP server on another Ubuntu box (192.168.1.201) - it was used for
the RHEL install.
As LCS isn't supported on SLES I have the following definition for my CTC in
herc.
# networking, channel-to-channel adapter
0600 3088 CTCI -n /dev/net/tun -t 1500 10.0.2.13 10.0.2.14
0601 3088 CTCI -n /dev/net/tun -t 1500 10.0.2.13 10.0.2.14
As I'm using a VirtualBox VM my Ubuntu 'host' has the IP address 10.0.2.15
I am following the SLES 10SP2 Installation guide I downloaded from
YahooGroups - at least to get started - it seems relatively close to what
I'm trying to achieve.
After starting the installer I get confused as to what is what!!!
I select FTP as the network protocol, my CTC device as the CTC with
read/write channels as 0.0.0600 and 0.0.0601 respectively.
I chose "Extended Mode" as per the install guide., said "no" to the DHCP
question and then >>>
My IP address I chose 10.0.2.13 as per the CTCI definition in the herc.conf
above.
For the PLIP partner I chose 10.0.2.15 (the IP address of my virtual host),
same for the name server and for the FTP server I chose 192.168.1.201 which
is the ftp server in the 'other' box. This technique was OK for the RHEL
install using LCS.
The ftp server doesn't need login so I'm expecting the installer will try
'anonymous'. - I can get a clean ftp session from the 10.0.2.15 host to
192.168.1.201 so connectivity looks good.
Eventually the installer bails out as it can't find a repo - I'm stuck as to
how to debug this shemozzle.
Any clues as to how to proceed ???

I have not been able to get either network option to work. The LCS
definition (which was fine in RHEL6) or the CTC definition which I have
used
in the past for Centos/Debian/Fedora installs.
I had no problems with the CTC route. Contact me offline if you need more
help.
