I installed the software on a Virtual server.
SUSE is running, but now it wont see the CDROM to make changes such as loading SAMBA.
I copied the CD to the SUSE box, how to I get SUSE to look at the new location for the files?
To clairify, I can read files from the CDROM (my CDROM virtually connected) but the install sotware will not see it.
Hmm… I don’t fully understand what you mean, but I’m guessing the following.
You have a virtual server, running SuSE, that now for some reason is unable to use the virtual CDROM as an installation source, so you have copied the entire contents of the SuSE CD (DVD?) to somewhere in the SuSE file system. And now you want to be able to use that place as an installation source. Correct so far?
What version of SuSE are we talking about?
Anyway, assuming this is all true and that you have copied the CD (DVD?) contents into the sub folder /susedist you should be able to add an installation repository with the command:
zypper ar /susedist suserepo
where “suserepo” is just an alias for the repository. Then you should be able to install software from that repository using YaST for instance. Assuming all the things I assumed are correct of course 
Thank you for your reply. It is very close. Turns out the SUSE 11 enterprise was trying to talkt to the internet for the install packages.
I added the directory with the DVD copy to the software repository with no luck.
My boss came back and manually edited the resolve.conf with DNS entries and things started working.
