    Ok, I managed to get this to work once before, and now, for the life of me,
    I can't get it to work again...

    I have a WinXP machine set up with its IIS implementation. I copied
    everything from each of the 9.2 CDs into a "92" folder on that web server.
    Inside my network, it's fully accessable as http://192.168.1.100:8080/92/
    (port 8080 due to my ISP scanning for port 80 and threatening to turn you
    off for running servers!) I can browse through the folders on the http://
    site, I can download the files, so I know there's no permission problems.
    When I boot CD #1, I've tried typing in:
    install=http://192.168.1.100:8080/9.2, as well as hitting F3, choosing http,
    and entering the info there (I do not enter the http:// in front of the
    server address, and enter 92 (and have tried /92 and /92/) for the
    directory. (Just for fun, I also copied all the contents (8 gigs... yeesh!)
    of the DVD to that webserver, and I can't get it to install from there
    either.) Here's what happens... It loads the kernel, gets to the YAST
    screen, then gives the "options" screen with a message of "No packages
    found" for the software selections.

    The "92" folder I created is basically a dumping ground for each CD copied
    as: cp -rv * /92

    This folder contains all the media.1, media.2, suse/* folders, etc.

    Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
