My source of installation is set on:

Status    Name
On        SuSe Linux Version 9.0  (this changed to 9.1 after edit /
refresh???)

URL
ftp://195.135.221.132/pub/suse/i386/current

and it's working fine for all the other stuff I've installed...
So I tried to change the directory to
ftp://195.135.221.132/pub/i386/current/suse/i586  because I see the RPMs
I want there, and I get this error from YaST;
ERROR(InstSrc:E_no_instsrc_on_media).

Odd, when I installed the other 20 apps everything worked fine but when
I do Apache and Subversion it doesn't work.  Oh well, I'll do it like I
would if YaST didn't exist because I want to have it on my computer
tonight.  Too early to blame it on YaST, I'm probably doing something
wrong somewhere.  I'll play with it more later.  Thanks for any tips.
