I'm attempting to install SuSE 8.1 through ftp on a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop with a PCMCIA ethernet card. The ftp server IP address is 217.9.113.66 and the path is /pub/suse/i386/8.1/. After a while, the install fails with a red box saying "There has been an installation error". I had a hunch that the bios settings might have interfered with the download, especially the APM settings so I went in and disabled those I thought would have, but I still get the installation error message. Any ideas?
