We copied all the 6 SLES9 CDs into a server and pointed Yast to the server when trying to install python. Yast does not recognise the FTP directories. It does not walk down from the base directory to look for the packages. We have
/SUSE/S390/Server9/Install/disk1 ... disk2 and so on. The installation sources set up is correct. When I search for "python" it lists all the packages. But when I try to install it prompts me for the source directory on the ftp server. I tried pointing to disk1, disk2 etc. one by one. Still no joy! Does it require the directories to be named in a speficic way? The directories appear to contain the right data. ftp> cd disk1 250 CWD successful ftp> dir 200 command successful 150 Opening ASCII data connection for directory listing drwxr-x--- 2 software System 0 Mar 28 07:21 . drwxr-x--- 2 software System 0 Mar 28 07:21 .. -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 13396 Jul 6 2004 ARCHIVES.gz -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 36 Jul 1 2004 autorun.inf drwxr-x--- 2 software System 0 Mar 28 07:21 boot -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 20032 Jul 6 2004 ChangeLog -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 544 Jul 6 2004 content -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 17722 Jul 1 2004 control.xml -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 17992 Jul 1 2004 COPYING -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 25733 Jul 1 2004 COPYING.de -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 1438 Jul 1 2004 COPYRIGHT -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 1606 Jul 1 2004 COPYRIGHT.de -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 262 Jul 6 2004 directory.yast drwxr-x--- 2 software System 0 Mar 28 07:21 docu drwxr-x--- 2 software System 0 Mar 28 07:21 dosutils -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 1694 Jul 1 2004 gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e 2d04.asc -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 2173 Jul 1 2004 gpg-pubkey-9c800aca-39e f481.asc -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 1441 Jul 6 2004 INDEX.gz -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 13422 Jul 1 2004 LICENSE.TXT -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 3355 Jul 6 2004 ls-lR.gz drwxr-x--- 2 software System 0 Mar 28 07:21 media.1 -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 2724 Jul 1 2004 pubring.gpg -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 1365 Jul 1 2004 README -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 1423 Jul 1 2004 README.DOS drwxr-x--- 2 software System 0 Mar 28 07:21 SLES-LICENSE drwxr-x--- 2 software System 0 Mar 28 07:21 suse -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 163 Jul 6 2004 suse.ins -rwxr-x--- 1 software System 2238 Jul 1 2004 SuSEgo.ico drwxr-x--- 2 software System 0 Mar 28 07:21 yast 226 transfer complete -- __________________ Ranga Nathan Work: 714-442-7591 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
