Hi all,
I'm helping a friend who does web-development and is not very linux-aware to
administer his server. The server runs a suse 8.1 distro. I'm not used to the
suse way of package installation. Initially the server has been setup using
cds but we have no (easy) physical acces to it, so I wanted to configure yast
to download the rpms via ftp and manage dependencies to ease installation/
maintenance.
The problem is when I tell yast to use a ftp server with the directory which I
found on the suse webpages (e.g. ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/) I only
get an error message "No Installation source on installation media" .
Does anybody know how to setup yast on suse to work with ftp?
