Suse 10.1 Internet Install Fails

[JohnPtrs]

I have downloaded the Internet boot installation disk and upon booting to it press F3 then F4 as instructed on the site...(

http://en.opensuse.org/Released_Version#Further_Information)

then I input the repository server and directory...(

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source)

I've tried the server by name and IP address...

I get a not found error... If anyone can help me figure this out I'd appreciate it... thanks!

The url you included (

http://download.xxxxx)works

for me.

The answer is "42"

Does it prompt you for DNS configuration, etc. before the point where it tries to download the installation media? I presume it would because otherwise it would have no way to look up the IP address for that URL. Presuming it did, did you provide the correct information?

Yes, it got everything via dhcp... I even tried staticly assigning it... but I went ahead and just downloaded and made the install CDs lastnight, so I'll fiddle with the net isntall at a later time... thanks anyway!
