wprauchholz LQ Newbie Registered: Oct 2004 Location: Madrid Distribution: Suse 9.1 Professional Posts: 24 Rep:	Source of installation media error I changed the source of installation to server name: "mirror.mcs.anl.gov" and Director on Server: "/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/yast-source". Whilst on my laptop the Yasts's system update works fine with it, on my desktop it gives me the following error: "Update Options - Cannot read package data from installation media. Media error?". Anybody knows what is wrong here? THx Wolfgang
