SV: [SLE] strange 8.1 DVD install problem
There has been a problem with DVD-installation for a _long_ time in SUSE. We have two copies of 8.0, none of those works to install from the DVD. The CD:s, however, work just fine. I'm surprised to see that this is not testet better before launch. -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: SuSE Ground Zero [mailto:suse@aspec.ro] Skickat: den 29 oktober 2002 15:11 Till: kathee; suse-linux-e@suse.com Ämne: Re: [SLE] strange 8.1 DVD install problem On Tuesday 29 October 2002 16:06, kathee wrote: watch this: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/mlasars_8.1_dvdinstall.html -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

It worked fine for me. I loved it. I would suspect hardware, or maybe dvd region for your drive. I think SuSE deserves some credit for the DVD version, it is SO much nicer than popping CDs. ;-) -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

I would like to report that my 8.0 installed fine from the DVD. *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 8.0 Professional KDE 3.0.0 KMail 1.4 This is a Microsoft-free computer Bryan S.

I would have to report that I have had the DVD version of 8.0 installed on 3 machines, and have had no problems whatsoever [Well, almost, but not a SuSE problem, it was hardware :o)]
I would suggest that you may have a hardware issue - either with the drives themselves, or some quirky hardware interaction. Maybe if you gave us some information on the problems you were having with the installation, then we could help work out where the problem is so that you can use the DVD version as installation media. Take care :o) Jon
