I have a couple of systems with CDROM only and thus want to install
openSUSE from a server in the LAN, using the NET install CD.
I have downloaded the following:
1. openSUSE 11.1 i586 NET install CD md5sum OK with that posted on
the 'Net
2. openSUSE 11.1 i586 DVD md5sum OK with that posted on the 'Net
3. Mount the DVD ISO image on /mnt/loop/opensuse111x86
4. Create an apache alias -
Alias /distros "/mnt/loop/"
<Directory "/mnt/loop">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
5. Reloaded apache and verified that the opensuse DVD file structure is
visible <http://myserver/distros/opensuse111x86>
7. Boot the install system with the NET install CD and for the HTTP
server enter "myserver" and the location for the repo
as "distros/opensuse111x86/"
8. The images 1/6, 2/6, 3/6, and 4/6 load and then the whole install
process bombs. I get the following 2 errors:
"error 22: The requested URL returned error: 403"
"No repository Found"
I have checked the perms on the all the directories and files:
directories perms are: 555
files perms are: 444, a few have 555.
A quick scan of the top level dir/file structure on
<http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/>
versus <http://myserver/distros/opensuse111x86/>
look the same.
I have followed the above procedures to install CentOS over the LAN w/o
probs. Any pointers to where am I going wrong with openSUSE?
TIA
