Yast is a bit picky about the way that you define he directory paths for reading packages from disk. The way I usually do that is make iso images of the individual disks: mkdir /SuSE dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/SuSE/ISO/9_cd1.iso mkdir /SuSE/cd1 mount -o loop /SuSE/ISO/9_cd1.iso /SuSE/cd1 and repeat for the rest of the disks (just replace cd1 with cd2) Then in yast, software - Change Source of Installation, and add a new local directory of /SuSe/cd1. Make sure you turn off the initial entry for the cd. That should do it. Let me know if you are still having problems. A great source for SuSE issues is the SuSE discussion board at http://lists.suse.com > > ******************************************************** > * Jesse Aaron Safir, Chief Windows Systems Engineer * > * ITS Server Farm Group, AIS Distributed Computing * > * 440 West Franklin Street, CB# 1150, UNC * > * Chapel Hill, NC 27599-1150, jesse.safir @ unc.edu * > * 919-962-4720(w), 919-216-1605(p), 919-260-8686(m) * > ******************************************************** I couldn't resist, but perhaps part of the problem is in your sig :) A title change might help out the installation greatly.
