Jay, are you using a proxy server? If so, this may be your problem. There is
a work around to enable YAST to use a Proxy server, but if I remember
correctly, it varies from version to version. 8.2 has a proxy settings menu
in YAST --> network Services --> Proxy that should do the trick.

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?
