Mmmm... now, that would be nice. Having the CD/DVD install all it can, reboot, then automatically continue downloading and installing everything else, but from the already running system. Or give the option to choose.
Would that be possible/practical/good? :-?
Possible: yes, A hell lot of work: yes, too. Wanted: I don't know.
Can you give some details why it would be a lot of work. It seems that all (or the most) infrastructure is already present (zypper, download software) what is needed is some intermediate software that will allow user to turn computer off and on as needed, but not to interrupt installation. The idea is to have only minimum KDE or GNOME system and perform installation from that point. I did something similar when I was on dialup. Minimal text mode using miniiso, than minimal GUI from running text mode, than KDE base and dependencies, than the rest. This way I kept download size lower as I downloaded only software that I wanted, and in the same time kept network connection problems under control. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
