I'm trying to install thtough Web SuSe-9.2 (SuSe-9.2 and not 9.3!)
Boot image (about 65Mb) downloaded and burned on CD.
CD boots without problem.
I want to install on a laptop in a home LAN.
Manual installation:
1) When asked for IP-address I type 192.168.1.50: accepted 2) When asked for Broadcast address I type 255.255.255.224: accepted 3) When asked for gateway address I type 192.168.1.63: accepted 4) When asked for DNS server I type the DNS address of the server: accepted
5) Problem is here: when asked for IP address of the FTP server for installation if I type ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.2, it is rejected.

Essentially, you have all binary 1s in the masked ip address. (eg. low order 5 bits). Normally, that would be the broadcast address for a netmask of 192.168.1.63. The usable IP addresses on that subnet would be .1 through .62. Also, make sure you have the correct drivers loaded. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
