Several friends have asked me why they are getting an error message when attempting to install RPMS using the YaST "Software Management" choice. The error message confuses them and they don't know what to do, although it is obvious to any experienced user. An attempt to access the installation media when the installation DVD is not present in the drive brings on the message.
In each case the OSS and NONOSS repositories have been added so the installation DVD is no longer required. An easy fix is to go edit the Software Repository and turn off having the system look for the DVD. I would like to suggest that the software could be made more intelligent to detect if the above two repositories have been added and then the original line pointing to the DVD be disabled. This prevents the error from happening. Anytime we can eliminate confusion for new users we have done a good thing in my view. Please let me know if you think I should file an enhancement request?
