I'd really love to do this, and I've had a stab at it, but I must admit that I
couldn't figure out what directory on the SuSE ftp server to use as the "New
Installation Source". I'm still just using my cd's as my only installation
souce (although I have YOU working fine for online updates).
Would you be able to point me at a particular path? Or define what YaST's
requirements are for such a path?
