Well I seem to have totally messed up 7.1's printing. As much as I would like to buy 7.2 at the moment, I can't, Is there a download site, ( not live eval ) yet ? Nice if there is, otherwise. I guess I'll just wait til some cheques arrive in the post. dids

check ftp.suse.com:/pub/suse/i386/7.2 . Please note, that AFAIK SuSE doesn't make available ISO images, so you will either have to download the whole directory tree to your harddrive and install from there, or you could install via ftp (assuming that your network connection is fast enough).

OK i download it to a spare HD, ? then what . How do I install from just a set of packages. boot up with 7.1 cd and install from directory etc. I must admit i dont like doing it without buying a copy but as I am currently unable to work.. I shall try downloading it now. dids

There should be a README somewhere on the ftp server that explains how to do it. In general, you will have to create a 7.2 boot floppy (use rawrite under DOS or dd under Linux), the images should be available in a directory called 'disks'. You will probably have to use the "old" text based YaST for the installation - I am not sure whether YaST2 in 7.2 allows for installations from the harddrive. If you rely on that, test it first. You should be able to find out about this by just downloading the boot images and writing them to floppy (and subsequently booting from them, of course).
