I downloaded the SLES10-SP2 DVD ISO and copied it to my local Linux server in directory /usr/local/share/sles10-s390x/DVD. I have the following directories, the CDx is from my original SLES10 installation.
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 944 Apr 19 2007 CD1 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 224 Apr 19 2007 CD2 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 224 Apr 19 2007 CD3 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 224 Apr 19 2007 CD4 drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 968 Jun 20 15:48 DVD I go into YaST2 and add another NFS installation source. I enter my NFS IP address and Path to directory image is /usr/local/share/sles10-s390x/DVD. ISO Image option is not checked. The file structure looks just like that of CD1. However, it fails with the following from the YaST2 log: . . . 2008-06-23 12:19:32 <1> linuxyum(3142) [susetags] SuseTagsImpl.cc(operator()):77 Probing for YaST source... 2008-06-23 12:19:32 <1> linuxyum(3142) [susetags] SuseTagsImpl.cc(operator()):84 YaST source detected... 2008-06-23 12:19:32 <1> linuxyum(3142) [YCP] PackageCallbacks.ycp:986 Source nfs://10.10.33.245/usr/local/share/sles10-s390x/DVD is type YaST 2008-06-23 12:19:32 <1> linuxyum(3142) [YCP] PackageCallbacks.ycp:861 CloseSourcePopup: _source_open: 1 2008-06-23 12:19:32 <1> linuxyum(3142) [YCP] PackageCallbacks.ycp:858 Closing source progress popup 2008-06-23 12:19:32 <1> linuxyum(3142) [YCP] PackageCallbacks.ycp:861 CloseSourcePopup: _source_open: 0 2008-06-23 12:19:32 <1> linuxyum(3142) [YCP] PackageCallbacks.ycp:1060 Source probe end: error: url: nfs://10.10.33.245/usr/local/share/sles10-s390x/DVD, error: NO_ERROR, description: 2008-06-23 12:19:32 <1> linuxyum(3142) [YCP] PackageCallbacks.ycp:865 SourceCreateStart: nfs://10.10.33.245/usr/local/share/sles10-s390x/DVD 2008-06-23 12:19:32 <1> linuxyum(3142) [YCP] PackageCallbacks.ycp:776 Opening source progress popup: Creating source nfs://10.10.33.245/usr/local/share/sles10-s390x/DVD 2008-06-23 12:19:32 <1> linuxyum(3142) [YCP] PackageCallbacks.ycp:834 OpenSourcePopup: _source_open: 1 2008-06-23 12:19:32 <1> linuxyum(3142) [zypp] SourceFactory.cc(createSourceImplWorkflow):162 Trying to create source of type YaST 2008-06-23 12:19:32 <1> linuxyum(3142) [source] MediaSet.cc(redirect):64 Adding media verifier to redirected medium 2008-06-23 12:19:32 <0> linuxyum(3142) [media] MediaManager.cc(delVerifier):550 MediaVerifier change: id=7, verifier=zypp::media::NoVerifier 2008-06-23 12:19:32 <0> linuxyum(3142) [media] MediaManager.cc(addVerifier):534 MediaVerifier change: id=7, verifier=N4zypp6source10SourceImpl8VerifierE 2008-06-23 12:19:32 <1> linuxyum(3142) [source] SourceImpl.cc(factoryCtor):177 Setting autorefresh: 1 2008-06-23 12:19:32 <1> linuxyum(3142) [susetags] SuseTagsImpl.cc(cacheExists):553 Checking if source cache exists in 2008-06-23 12:19:32 <1> linuxyum(3142) [susetags] SuseTagsImpl.cc(cacheExists):568 DATA not found, MEDIA not found, MEDIA/media.1/media not found 2008-06-23 12:19:32 <1> linuxyum(3142) [susetags] SuseTagsImpl.cc(factoryInit):590 Cache dir not set.

Go to http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=A-zpMLVoXGg~ and download the DVD .iso file. You only need DVD1 unless you also want all the source RPMs (which most people don't).
