Nope, I went into the CMOS configuration and the only bootable devices are the floppy or the hard drive. Thanks anyway. jpg
Is your CD-ROM a bootable CD-ROM? The SuSE CD set is bootable... that's how I installed SuSE on my Toshiba Satellite.

I seem to have run into a small problem in attempting to install SuSe 5.3 on a Hewlett Packard OmniBook 5700CTX. I have a Xircom PCMCIA 10/100-Ready network card, and the standard HP CD-ROM and 3.5 floppy drive modules.
When I boot using the SuSE boot floppy in the 3.5 drive, the kernel
doesn't
recognize the CD-ROM because it was not installed since I was using the 3.5 floppy drive. Secondly the Xircom PCMCIA card is not in the list of supported network cards. There is a '-- More modules --' option but that just pulls in the same list of kernel modules. There is nothing in the SuSE manual about what this '-- More modules --' option is, or how to utilize it.
So I am stuck, I cannot install from CD-ROM because the kernel doesn't see it at boot time (since it is not plugged in), and I cannot install over the network since there is no Xircom module.
Any suggestions?
