Hello!
I am trying to install openSuse 11.2 from netinstall disk into a vmware virtual machine under vmware server 2 (free edition). The installation process starts ok, but later i receive a warning indicating that the opensuse repository can not be found. (download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss /)
I have checked the network setup and works perfectly, also i can ping download.opensuse.org from console successfully.
I do not understand how to use the command you said.
When i press ctrl+alt+f2 nothing happens, but when i press ctrl+alt+f3 the following log appears:
Setting up localhost…done
Starting hardware detection…
Hardware detection finished.
