Hi, I downloaded the 9.1 personal CD from the Suse website and burned it onto a CD as instructed on the web site. However it won't autoboot with an empty harddisk. Could someone tell me please what needs to be done to get this thing to boot. Thank you very kindly. Heri

hi 1) did you burn the CD as an image or did you just copied the iso on the cd ? 2) check the boot sequence of your system - change it to CDROM - Harddrive - Other Hope this helps On Thu, 23 Sep 2004 23:21:37 -0400, H.Riesbeck wrote:

Thanks for you reply Harsh, Concerning your point 2 below: yes the boot sequence is set to CDROM first. But now to point 1: I copied the iso file to the CD - and yes, hoped for success. With Winrar I looked inside the iso package and could see an autorun file. I unpacked the file and copied all files onto a CD - no success. To make an image from the iso file did not dawn on me. The good folks at Suse could have mentioned this in the instructions. This leads me to my next question. How do you convert the iso file into an image file?

Here is your problem. You copied the iso image AS a file. IOW, your CD now has axxx.iso file on it.

...

To make an image from the iso file did not dawn on me.

An iso IS an image

You don't. Using k3b, you burn your cd from an image, i.e. Tools>CD>Burn CD image, then point it to your iso file. HTH. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871

If you're using a Windoze burner --like Roxio-- you'd righ-click on the ISO & select record to CD. If you're using another flavour of Linux then use k3b or xcdroast to do likewise. -- ..."Yogi" CH Namasté Yoga Studio "If music be the food of love, why can't rabbits sing?"

Every CD burning program I've used, had an option to burn a CD from an ISO file.

1) When you say you burned it as instructed, did you burn it as an ISO image? 2) Is your computer configured to boot from CD?
