[opensuse-factory] Burning the internet install ISO for 10.2 alpha 4
Hi, I've downloaded and burnt the X86 boot disk for internet install (openSUSE10.2 Alpha 4). The disk verified ok but the boot process hasn't recognised the install media. I've used a re-writable CD does that matter?

Just to make sure, you've set your BIOS to boot from CD-ROM before your Hard Drive, correct?

Shouldn't.

OK The error message is 'Could not find the SUSE Linux Installation Source.' that alone is good for a bug report - incorrect branding :-) Seems to me I need to identify the server where the disk images are held? What is this about 'Point the YaST installer to the installation repository (by pressing F3 and then F4)'? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Keith, I would skip F3 and then F4 do that later when GUI Installer is active. It acts as a standard YaST module and asks if you want to retry to input installation source if source is not available, or you make typo. F3 then F4 will abort GUI, and start text mode installation in case of any error, at least it did that last time I used it. Looking for the link I couldn't find any inst-source directory for 10.2 so there is the question how to use mini-iso CD? -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
