I have downloaded suse iso files and I wanna install it without write cd. I did this way for 9.3. And that time I burned cd1 and booted my computer then when it wants me other cds I mount others then I gave it its mount point. Can I install it without burn a cd?!
1. mount -rtiso9660 -oloop SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-i386-RC1-CD1.iso /mnt/ cp /mnt/boot/loader/initrd /boot/inst-initrd cp /mnt/boot/loader/linux /boot/inst-linux umount /mnt/
2. Add a new boot target "install" to your grub or lilo configuration using image=/boot/inst-linux and initrd=/boot/inst-initrd.
This will boot "like from CD".
Mmm. Nice. I will see that I can implement this in makeSUSEdvd That will probably be something like `makeSUSEdvd -b`
You will need the installation source tree then on a partition or over the net.
To build the installation source tree, you can do this: <snip>
For that you can also use `makeSUSEdvd -i -s /dir/to/install` http://www.opensuse.org/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
