Feature changed by: Per Jessen (pjessen) Feature #318635, revision 4 Title: Installation-Update to newer versions without CD/DVD openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Nick Mantas (orion_0) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: My proposal is the development of a way to install new distros or update to new ones without having to use CD/DVD. This feature can be available within YaST or as a stand-alone program ,to be available for use for other Linux Distros as well. You mount the ISO within the program and the installation starts without having to burn a disk Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We all get excited when the new version of openSUSE becomes avalable for download. We literally RUSH to the local computer store to get a CD/DVD,or beg others to lend us one, in order to test it... unless we have... Now imagine a program or a YaST extention where you mount the ISO you just downloaded without having to to burn a disk. Not only convenient but also eco-friendly as it reduces the amount of disks and unnecesary waste!! Proposed name: ISOtope (isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number. Same here:same ISO, different installation way) + Discussion: + #1: Per Jessen (pjessen) (2015-03-12 11:59:35) + I think what you're asking for is already well supported by openSUSE. I + have not burned an openSUSE CD or DVD in years. Many of my systems no + longer have a DVD drive, I install/upgrade over the network. If you'd + prefer downloading the ISO and install from there, that's perfectly + possible, I think you specify something like install=iso:///<filename> + or install=nfs://<url>.iso -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318635
