    Er... I don't understand. Didn't I show above that I had gotten rid of
    the bogus entries? Or am I totally misreading what is going on?
    To re-iterate from my point of view, the symptom that I experienced
    was that I could not get YaST Software Install to find my DVD (which
    at least some parts of the system seem to have no trouble finding...
    like mount, for instance).

    Anyway, somebody (you?) told me to ensure that I had the DVD included
    in my Installation Source".
    I published the Installation Source list to show that it was there (or
    something pretending to be it...).
    You then pointed out what you called bogus entries -- to me they were
    just entries that I didn't understand. They had just appeared for no
    reason that I knew.

    So in this latest installment of the continuing saga, I published my
    revised list, showing that I'd taken your advice and removed the
    duplicates (assuming that *they* were what you meant by bogus
    entries). But I still have the original problem.

    So, I expanded my horizons a bit (probably in precisely the wrong
    direction, but my entire trouble-shooting technique consists of
    grasping at straws...) and included my fstab as a possible next
    place to inquire, since doing what you first suggested didn't seem
    to have addressed my original symptom (not my damnfoolishness,
    the *other* symptom). Given your reaction, though, should I
    understand that I didn't remove the entries that you actually wanted
    me to remove? I thought it was the multiple repetitions of:
    "On     dvd:////     dvd:///"
