    Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.

    I've downloaded Suse 9.0 and saved it to a second harddrive (installing
    to a new harddrive). In particular, I'm doing a clean install to
    /dev/hda and the downloaded files of Suse 9.0 are on /dev/hdc (ext3
    partition).

    I've burned the CD and I boot from it. I choose "Manual Install" at the
    appropriate menu, specify "From Harddrive", identify the partition and
    specify the path ("Suse9.0/9.0").

    Everything seems to go relatively smoothly except that no software
    packages are found. At the installation summary, I get the following
    error message:

    > Cannot read package data from installation media. Media error?
    > * ERROR: No proposal

    I do the Ctrl-Alt-F5 (or similar) and poke around. I find the directory
    tree under /mounts/extra/Suse9.0/9.0. Everything seems to be there.

    I try to fix the problem within YaST2, but I don't see where I can tell
    the program where to look for RPMs it might not have found.

    Any ideas? Again, thanks for any insight anyone can provide.

    Best regards,

    Jim
