It works this way for the installation server as described somewhere in
the Autoyast documentation on Suse websites. Why doesn't it work for a
DVD? It should't matter whether it gets the RPMs via HTTP, NFS or direct
from DVD. In some situations (e.g. on customer sites) an installation
server is not possible and that diskjockey stuff with 9 CDs is annoying.
Why doesn't Suse release SP2 as one complete SLES9+SP2 DVD? The SP2
contains almost the same amount of data than the original SLES9.

Bernd
