I built the driver on the target system that I had booted from a normal
disk. This way I could try it out easily.

However I could compile the driver anywhere. What remains for a regular
install (I need to do this on ~20 machines without a regular disk) is to
let the installer load it from somewhere in order to see disks. Using
the studio sounds like overkill.

Does anybody know if
http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/hvogel/Update-Media-HOWTO/index.html is
still valid? It only talks about 9.0 and 9.1 which is rather seasoned.

Cheers,
Joerg
