I don't understand what you mean about running YaST under Win98? Does
that mean you're using "loadlin" to start Linux? I have no experience
with "loadlin" as I've always used a bootdisk.

If you can get YaST running all you need to do is select an install
medium. Since you're trying to install from the CDROM, you select the
CDROM as the installation medium. Once you select CDROM, YaST will ask
you what CDROM drive do you use? If you look at the list YaST presents,
you'll see an entry that says "Sound Blaster Pro (Panasonic)".  As far
as I know this is the drive type you have based upon your earlier email
messages. 

If I had my old 486 system available I'd give SuSE a quick install run
but I recently relocated and the box is buried in the garage at this
time.
