I have spent the last 8 hours trying to install on a PC with a CD and no floppy..... I have an Opensuse 10.2 DVD, and a PC running it on the network, but for the life of me, haven;t been able to connect via FTP, HTTP, SMB, NFS and various other options. I can run up the PC using a Bart disk, create a partition and copy files to that.... but still no luck. One of my main queries is: when pointing to an SMB share with the install, what is the install supposed to look like?? ie is it just the DVD (ie share the dvd drive and put the original dvd in) or is it a "special" mix of files.... or a directory on the DVD??? So many questions.... But regardless of that, I am sure I have tried all those options, just to continually get a message similar to "invalid installation image...." HELP!! Then again.... I am trying to replace XP on my wifes PC, with a decent OS, but it just aint workin'! It may be an omen.... this is my wifes PC, and I am the local "Desktop Support" rep!! :-)

and, could be money saving too. ;-)
-afan Great idea, but it's one of those "laptop" type drives - not as easy (or cheap!) to come across!! John.
