Re: Installation repository

Hi,

the installation is working very well now using this kind of repository.
However when I'm trying to use the YAST tool for auto installation
to work on the package list, I get an error. Whenever I select "modify"
the system is working for some time, but I never get into the subsection
to select packages. I will stay in the top level menu again.
Any idea ?


Bye, Peer
