Found it to be /var/ftp. Copied the SLES11SP2 .iso file to /var/ftp/pub,
verified that it's reachable via anonymous ftp from a Windows box, then tried
almost every permutation of the install path according to the format suggested
by Dave Jones; all failed in the same familiar way. The only variant I didn't
try was putting colons as "placeholders", in case the install path is parsed
strictly looking for "positional" parameters that were omitted (like
user:password, which should cause an anonymous login to the ftp server).
I'm done for today. I'll install/configure an http server on the laptop (any
suggestions?) and try that next week. I'll also bone up on the z/VM equivalent
for CTRACE, so I can try to see if anything is even "leaving" the SLES install
program looking for anything across the network. I know I can ping the laptop
from SLES install, so it does have the needed network access.
