SuSE 8.0 FTP install went extremely smooth for me on a Dell Inspiron 7500. I first created the four boot and module disks, then used these to boot the system. From then on everything was just as easy as installing from CD. Greets Kavau --- Gabriel@suse.de, Dos@suse.de, Reis@suse.de, Gabriel.Dos-Reis@cmla.ens-cachan.fr wrote:
Hi,
Some months ago I bought SuSE 7.3 and tried to install it on a Dell Dimension 8200 (equipped with an nVidia GeForce3 card) with no success -- either the graphics card can't be made to work or the system hangs after some time of keyboard inactivity. Well.
Now that SuSE 8.0 is out, I decided to try an installation via FTP (at least to make something out of the money I put on acquiring 7.3). After entering
/pub/suse/i386/current/
as the directory on the remote server, the installer aborted with the message
bad gzip magic numbers
Good.
No my question: does SuSE decide not to provide installable source? Why suddenly is it so hard to install and use SuSE?
(My first SuSE was 6.3 on a Dell Insprion 7500, I was quite happy with it -- actually 6.3, 6.4, 7.1 and 7.3).
Thanks,
-- Gaby
