It's no problem to install openSUSE with the extracted files and BootX. I'm sorry I was not able to report the bug earlier, but my PowerBook was defect, three years. I've managed to repair it on the weekend after 10.3 was released (yes, it was no high priority). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

From the report it sounds as if it used to be done there and was removed lately. Olaf?

This should be avoided.
