well.... sorrry that i haven't told you that i don't have linux installed yet. i have a clean harddrive, network boot cd in my hand and working cd-rom drive :-) of course i also have external isdn card connected to rs232.
Why not installing Linux from the CD drive?
i don't have any idea if i can make a network-install boot cd to dial to internet via rs232. there are lots of network-card modules, but i don;t have network card :-(, so i can't access suse ftp :-(
There is one big difference: To run a network card, you need a driver module for that network card. To use an ISDN modem you need a pppd daemon, which is not a module but a program. And that program additionally loads the ppp module. But it is the pppd daemon program which communicates with the ISDN modem. So it is not enough to start some modules to have network connections via ISDN. I don't know whether there is any possiblity to start the pppd daemon during installation process. Jochen
