Description Bavo De Ridder 2005-09-09 11:34:30 UTC 
I downloaded the 5 ISO images for RC1 to create a local network install 
repository. I loopback mounted the isos and copied them in reverse order (5 -> 
4 -> ... -> 1) to the same location: /srv/www/install/10. 
 
I then booted from the first cd (which I burned) and entered 
"install=http://149.44.38.65/install/10" on the boot options prompt.  
 
Installation went on great until the first reboot. After that reboot the 
installation should normally proceed with CD2, but he couldn't find it on the 
network. It appeared he was looking for it at the following location: 
"http://149.44.38.65/install/2". After changing that to "...install/10", 
installed continued without errors with CD 2, 3, 4 and 5. 
 
So it seems that yast2 thinks that a path ending in /10 means the first cd and 
that he can find the next cd in /2.  
 
I guess this error would not have occured if I had choosen 
for ...install/suse10 as installation path.

Set up your tree with individual directories per CD. The pathes should end 
with .../CD1, .../CD2, etc.
Comment 2 Klaus Kämpf 2005-09-09 11:50:42 UTC 
The install prompt should read "install=http://149.44.38.65/install/10/CD1"
Comment 3 Bavo De Ridder 2005-09-09 11:59:29 UTC 
So if I understand correctly, copying the 5 cds in reverse order to the same 
folder is not supported (any more)?
