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: Directory of E:\suse\nosrc 03/11/2009 08:36 AM <DIR> . 03/11/2009 08:36 AM <DIR> .. 02/20/2009 11:33 PM 425,769 java-1_4_2-ibm-1.4.2_sr12-3.12.nosrc.rpm 02/25/2009 05:29 AM 24,246 java-1_6_0-ibm-1.6.0-124.5.nosrc.rpm 02/28/2009 02:02 AM 1,700,555 kernel-default-2.6.27.19-5.1.nosrc.rpm 02/20/2009 08:43 PM 7,894 redbook-10.0-108.21.nosrc.rpm 02/25/2009 07:41 PM 19,396 websphere-as_ce-2.1.1.1-2.26.nosrc.rpm 5 File(s) 2,177,860 bytes 2 Dir(s) 0 bytes free Frank M.

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.)
