Now I can't copy the contests of /src and /nosrc because of:

Cannot copy IPAPGothic-002.003-10.9.src: The parameter is incorrect.

(This was from /src, I get the same thing from /nosrc.)

I'm trying to copy directly from the CD to a Samba share that's on a
CentOS server.  There wasn't any problems with DVD1.

(I'm going to create a tarball and transfer it and see what happens.)

Are these directories needed for installation?   /src seems to contain
source code and /nosrc only contains:

Windows does not support the Red Rock ISO 9660 extension that is used
for
long names and symbolic links on a CD/DVD and, IIRC, the SuSE DVDs
contain
symlinks.  (Maybe Windows 7 has added the support - I don't know.)
