Verify the checksum of your iso files and make sure they are good. I have included a "cat mkinstallroot" make sure that the location from where you mount and copy the CDs is accessible to the script. I used /ISO_Images_Dir only as an example directory location. Yours will be different.

I have followed this thread pretty close and have used the installroot procedure to create an installroot for my CDs. I can start the install, get into yast, setup the DASD, and then I change my software to Minimal install. But when the install starts it asks me to mount CD1. OK, just repeats the request for CD1. Anything else and the install ends. Has anyone run into this before? Maybe I screwed up the ISO part.
