Tom, I then tried using a mount with loop to mount the iso images. Same problem with media error. Did you run md5sum -c against an MD5SUM file? The Novell server has been known to modify bytes upon download. If not you can cut and paste. For 31-bit CDs: # cat MD5SUM.sles9

That is defineately a bad ftp path statement. you really need to check that. when SUSE 9 fails on this type of error you should get a dialog box that has an option to check details. When you check the details you can change the ftp path and put in a password and try it again until you get it
