Description Axel Dörfler 2006-05-17 12:30:49 UTC 
When doing the internet installation via HTTP, you must include a leading "/" in the directory or all you get is a 400 Bad Request.
The internet installation is unnecessarily hard anyway...
Comment 1 Michael Gross 2006-05-18 14:04:13 UTC 
Sorry, I cannot quite follow you? There is always a leading slash for directories in URLs.
Comment 2 Axel Dörfler 2006-05-18 14:15:46 UTC 
When installing over the internet, you have to specify the IP address of the server separately from the directory on the server.
Now, when you don't write that '/' prefix, installation fails with a "Bad Request" - it would be much more convenient if that slash would be added automatically if it's missing; it's not very obvious for novice users what happens there.
Comment 3 Michael Gross 2006-05-22 14:22:27 UTC 
Wasn't that fixed some time ago? I cannot find a bug anyway.
Klaus?
Comment 5 Klaus Kämpf 2006-06-13 17:35:16 UTC 
Where do you input the server IP ?
Is it the graphical YaST, the initial boot screen of the CD, or linuxrc ?
Comment 6 Axel Dörfler 2006-06-13 18:42:25 UTC 
In the first menu that comes up after booting from the CD, so it's pre-Yast; the menu that is affected by the linemode=0 kernel parameter.
Comment 7 Steffen Winterfeldt 2008-03-12 14:56:00 UTC 
fixed since at least 10.3
