What Is Up With the 9.2 Pro CD's??
So far I am on only disk 3 of the install and already several errors: Disk 1: the qinternet rpm could not be found. Disk 2: rdesktop could not be installed. (didnt bother to write down the exact error but it was different than the first error) Disk 3: perl-compress-zlib could not be found Man, SuSE is starting to get sloppy like Red Hat, what is the deal? -cc ===== Chuck Carson - Sr. Systems Engineer Syrrx, Inc. - www.syrrx.com 10410 Science Center Drive San Diego, CA 92121 Work: 858.622.8528 Fax: 858.550.0526

qinternet is on disk 2
Disk 2: rdesktop could not be installed. (didnt bother to write down the exact error but it was different than the first error) Disk 3: perl-compress-zlib could not be found

All three of those installed with no problems from the CDs for me. Sounds like you either have some bad disks or a bad CD player

Same for me -- I copied all the cds to a insternal website, and installed from there... Given no media errors, I'd say everything worked pretty smoothly...
So I need to pop disk 2 in when I get that error and then pop disk 1 back in?
Since my first email I have reached yet more problems. It has now been hanging on the
apache2-prefork rpm for about 1 hour now.
Man this is why I don't like buying crap online, now I gotta pay to send these junk CD's back.
This system has 2 CDROM's, so the chances of both going bad the instance I decide to install SuSE
9.2 is highly unlikely. This workstation has been running FC2 w/o problems up until this install.

Do you happen to have any machines on your network that could function as a webserver? If you can read/copy the files off the install cd's onto a web "folder," you can enter "install=http://website.com/9.2_source" on the install prompt and load the stuff across the network. I had to do my Thinkpad that way since its CDRom is the pickiest thing in the world.

Is it Possible to copy the disks to a vfat or NTFS partition on the same machine and install from there ?

Never tried that, actually --- don't see why it wouldn't work as long as you could mount the filesystem somehow (and that would depend on if vfat/ntfs read support is available in the install cd kernel). Of course, if you know how (I've never done it) you could always roll your own boot/install floppies/cd and mount up the Windows partitions. (I'm guessing this can be done, but never had a reason to do it myself-- I'm sure there's plenty of folks here that'll be able to help more)

Yes that's possible ... just keep in mind what drive/partition you put it on. Use "vfat" Johan

The Pro 9.2 pkg is 5 Cds and you will probably need all 5. It aslo ships w/ 2 DVDs, a dual layer of 7+GB and a source DVD of 4.5GB. When I see these kind of install errors I do the Memory test option from the first install boot screen. Each time I was getting hinky install probs it turned out to be bad memory. The vendors respect the Men-test/86 results, so print out the errors screen for the folks that sold you the memory.

I think there is a issue with the motherboard now, after several other odd errors. I decided to ditch the 9.2 install and just to test I tried installing Windows XP and started getting oddities. I'm swapping out the workstation now. -CC

Might be bad media, I ran into that problem myself with 9.1 pro. SuSE support had me check it using the following instructions... You are not sure if one of the installation CD's (or the DVD) might have a physical defect. You would like to check on this. Procedure Run the following command as root: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/dev/null (If the symbolic link /dev/cdrom doesn't exist, or is incorrect, then you have to replace /dev/cdrom by the appropriate device file. E.g. /dev/hdc if your CD/DVD drive is connected to the master of the secondary IDE port. This will also be the case, if you don't have Linux installed already, and therfore have to use the rescue system to do the checking.) If the media is fine, you should get a result like the following: linux:~ # dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/dev/null 1316996+0 records in 1316996+0 records out If, on the other hand, a physical defect on the media prevents the data from being successfully read, you will get an error message. -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.5-7.111-default x86_64
