Hi,
Are all the ISO images for M7 hybrid images?
You can run isohybrid on any recent (< 1 year?) openSUSE CD/DVD image to make it a hybrid image. Worked for me the last few times I tried it over the last year.
Thanks, this worked. After the inintial start up I ended up in an ncurses interface with the message "Make sure CD number 1 is in your drive.". Using "Back" and the ensuing menus I was able to get the install system running. During system analysis things break: "The partitioning on disk /dev/sdc is not readable by the partitioning tool parted, which is used to change the partition table. .... " Where sdc is the USB stick. Clicking "OK" leads to a new dialog with the following message. "Unable to create repository from URL 'hd:/?device=/dev/sdc1'. Details: Empty destination in URI: hd:///?device=/dev/sdc1 Try again? " To create the stick I used # isohybrid openSUSE-DVD-Build0625-i586.iso # dd if=openSUSE-DVD-Build0625-i586.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=32 When inserting the stick into a running system I can see the stick having 1 partition (sdc1). When mounting the partition I see the "regular" structure I expect to see in an ISO image. The target install drive is /dev/sda, which has 3 partitions. Robert
(The older ones did not always recognise the ISO on the USB stick as an installation source, so you could only use them to install from the network IIRC)
