[sle-beta] Beta7 Offline Update - How it's Done.. Run on VMware

[Jiri Srain]

Hello Dick,

(sorry for top-posting)

from the screenshots you attached it shows that you did not select the
Server Applications module, which is exactly what the dependency errors
you mention below says.

The Web & Scripting module requires the Server Applications module to be
installed.
