Note that you need not download even the mini iso if your installation target already has a working grub. All you need is the linux and initrd from the appropriate boot/*/loader directory placed where a grub stanza can find it.
This is good to know, but lacks sufficient detail to be put to use. Could you either explain how to create or modify this "stanza" or point us to the relevant on-line documentation?
Thanks.
Is this what you meant: http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_without_CD
title #Installing_from_data_saved_on_your_local_machine
That and #Grub, I guess. But I think I'm still missing something, because I understand "Network Install" to mean that I don't need to first download anything (not any packages, anyway), but rather that the installer will access the network directly to retrieve packages. But I suppose it's moot for me at this point, since I have a functioning 10.2a5 (w/ some subsequent updates) already in place and YaST is working well, though some of the servers are clearly overtaxed (I'm making do with mirrors.kernel.org for the time being, even though it's been reported that it's tardy in syncing new releases).
