 Select "Change Source of Installation". The media you used to install SLES12 will be listed as an installation source. If you do not already have a SLES12 installation source at your location, you may want to consider creating one from the iso files you used to create .  Proceed as follows:</p>  Verify the required repositories are enabled:
   </p>
 <pre>  <pre>
 mkdir -p sles12/DVD1  zypper lr -E
 mount -o ro,loop SLE-12-Server-DVD-x86_64-GM-DVD1.iso /mnt  
 cp -rv /mnt/* sles12/DVD1  
 umount /mnt  
 </pre>  </pre>
 <h3>Add an additional installation source</h3>  
 <p>  
 Add the LON-CAPA SLES 12 repository as an additional installation source, so software installation in yast will have access to at least two repositories - a SuSE/Novell source (for packages included for the standard distribution) and the LON-CAPA repository (for extra packages needed to run LON-CAPA). For the LON-CAPA source you will use:  
 </p>  
 <dl style="list-style:square outside none">  
 <dd>Protocol</dd>  
 <dt>HTTP</dt>  
 <dd>Server Name</dd>  
 <dt>install.loncapa.org</dt>  
 <dd>Directory on server</dd>  
 <dt>suse/sles12/</dt>  
 <dd>Authentication</dd>  
 <dt>Anonymous</dt>  
 </dl>  
 <p>  <p>
 After saving this configuration information for the LON-CAPA repository, quit yast.  The list of enabled repos should be as follows:
 </p>  </p>
