I am using the DVD ISO for 11.1, I select just a basic install. But it fails when it get to the Boot Loader Settings. Says it can't find an image to install. I would hope this is the last iso, as I just download this weekend. To tell me that I have to use net install, you got to be kidding. If this is a know issue, why not fix it. I don't have the bandwith for a netinstall, that's why I download the iso. Even that took a two days. Usually any other distro take about an hour or so for downloads.
I use the NET install CD to start the machine (which only has a CD drive, no DVD). It will then automagically find the DVD in an external reader, or on a local networked machine shared via vsftp.
I don't have a PPC machine with a DVD reader so I've never tried to install that way - anyone else out there who has?
I went through that and when I did the self check of the disc it said it was bad to make a long story short I in stalled debian on it they have an install on cd for mac I wanted suse on it because I know suse but it was not to be
I have had success installing openSUSE DVD on my Mac G4 in the past. I think it was 11.0, but 11.1 should be no different. There were corruption issues like you're all describing here during the install until I burned the DVD at *4x* speed. This takes some time as you might guess, but the install worked with a slowly brewed DVD. The bigger issue for me is that the openSUSE kernel does not detect SMP, and fails a custom recompile with SMP enabled. So I can't use both processors. This led me to use Fedora on my Mac which sees both of my processors right out of the box, but I still use openSUSE everywhere else. ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org
