Hi
I was wondering if anybody could help me?? I have the CD of Suse and instead
of going around with the CD and opening the boxes and placing a CDROM in
the boxes when Im installing then. So I thought of placing the cd on a ftp
server logging in and start doing the installation.
I did the copy to ftp server using the command
# cp /media/cdrom/.S* /emil
#cp -a /media/cdrom/suse /emil

I can login and go to this directory with normal ftp and go to the /emil.
But when I'm trying to install a new machine I install the modules of the
network cards put in the IP's .
When it says " Please enter the Directory on the server" I put in /emil.
The error is ERROR WHILE ACESSING THE FTP SERVER:
FILE NOT FOUND what am I'm doing wrong??

Any Help

you probably need to copy the contents of the cd to /usr/local/ftp/pub/emil
rather than just /emil (or wherever your ftp root is located). Iusually
just mount the cd to a directory within the ftp root structure
mount /dev/cdrom /usr/local/ftp/pub/susedisk

and do the install that way.

You have ONE cd??? I think what you have is a live evaluation of SuSE, designed
to be tried on your system to see if you like it. It cannot be installed. You
could of course permanently mount it on another machine on a lan.
