Hi everyone!

I was able to install SUSE 10.1 on a very old iMac (bought 2001). I don't want to juggle CDs around
when installing packages so I copied the iso images to /opt/iso-img. All 5 images checks out OK with
md5sum.

I ran "Installation Source" from the YaST Control Center. Add -> Local Directory, select "ISO Image",
and browsed for /opt/iso-img/SUSE-Linux-10.1-GM-ppc-CD1.iso. That worked fine. However, I get this error
message for CD2 to CD5:



Please help. Thanks!

Why don't you use the online installation source repositories? If you have a decent net connection you can free up quite a bit of hd space.

If you want to stay with a local directory source, you could also create a single dvd iso from the cd isos. Then you'd have one oss install source and the non-oss cd. You don't have to burn a dvd to do this, and there is a howto here to help.
