Re: sles 10 install using nfs
My equivalent of your exports directory contains these: SLES-10-SP1-s390x-CD1.iso SLES-10-SP1-s390x-CD2.iso SLES-10-SP1-s390x-CD3.iso SLES-10-SP1-s390x-CD4.iso In the installer I specify the path to SLES-10-SP1-s390x-CD1.iso and it finds the others somehow. -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ayer, Paul W Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2008 3:22 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: sles 10 install using nfs Good morning, I am trying to create a new system sles 10 sp0 (tried sp1 also).

Re: sles 10 install using nfs
Hi Alan, I had tried many things. One other thing. The nfs side is red hat .. So at one point I exported the directory that has the .iso files and on the yast side it could not even start .. So now I have created the export director and then mounted the four iso files one by one then copied each to a dir CD1 CD2 CD3 CD4 told yast to use CD1 then it finds it and starts then after formatting disks and such it says it gets to the installation step and finds not software to install ...

Re: sles 10 install using nfs
Hi Ok exported the .iso file and got an io error when I tried to mount it. So mounted the dvd iso file local and exported that Ftped the vmrdr and initred from the dvd to be sure to vm Started the boot loader and got this message at the end ; starting hald... ok [/license.zip] End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /license.zip or /license.zip.zip, and cannot find /license.zip.ZIP, period. starting syslogd (logging to /dev/tty4)... ok starting klogd... ok starting yast... But was able to get a yast session and that session still failed after analyzing the system and found not software to be install... so.. I just deleted everything I had downloaded from Novell... tried to down load the sles 10 sp1 but it starts and end but only downloads 1k ... some problem there it looks like.. downloading a new copy of the sles 10 base dvd and will test with only that now... -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Post Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2008 1:44 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: sles 10 install using nfs On Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 1:11 PM, in message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Ayer, Paul W [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks mark I did try the dvd to and it could not be mount by got an nfs error ..
