Unhappy 9.2 installation problem


hi!

I downloaded SuSE 9.2 DVD.iso file, but i don't have a DVD-RW. So I extracted all of the content to hard drive. Then, i burned SuSE 9.2-mini-installation.iso to boot. I booted my system with "suse mini-installation" cd and selected Installation from Hard Drive...entered the location of suse9.2dvd content folder. YaST loaded regurarly. But in Installation Settings I bumped into error...In Software part it shows:
"Cannot read package data from installation media. media error?"
ERROR: No proposal.
How to solve this problem?

Downloading trough FTP or something again is not an option, unfortunetly.

It sounds as if the installation directory was specified incorrectly, or the data was overwritten during the install process... What happens when you start the install over again from the mini-installation cd? What about booting Knoppix or other CD distro and verifying your files' integrity? What other OS's are on that HD?

I agree with canon. It's probably all about how to specify the path. For FTP sources e.g. the path does not start with a slash and needs to end in the directory containing the following files:
Code:
ARCHIVES.gz
INDEX.gz
directory.yast
ls-IR.gz
MD5SUMS
...
