Maybe you’re missing that module, but it can be installed.

I guess it’s named “yast2-instserver”, under /oss repo.

This package allows you to configure an installation server suitable for
installaing SUSE Linux over the network. Currently FTP, HTTP and NFS
sources are supported.

I tried that and got this error message

Error: IO:Failed to provide Package yast2-instserver-2.17.3-1.43. Do you want to retry retrieval?

I’m surprised it wasn’t installed by default, it looks like the dvd package is corrupt. I suppose I can get it on line right?
