point it opens up a dialog box asking me what the URL is for the repository. It gives me 3 options for the CD, the hard drive, and the internet URL. Are you really using the full DVD image? Not the network install image? I am using a full DVD image.
Than it does sound like the installation system is unable to talk to the DVD. If you sap to one of the other console (Alt-Fx), you might see related error messages).
I chose CD obviously but it acts like nothing is there and keeps asking. My guess is that something is wrong with the basic CD/DVD driver that is being installed? Funny that the installation started up OK from the DVD but then it appears to lose the ability to talk to it at some point... Make sure that you are using the full DVD image. If it is, then I would try using an USB stick instead. I have never tried to do an installation from a USB stick before. Not sure I know how to A) put an image on a USB stick,
dd if=image of=usbstick bs=65536, for instance: dd if=<isofile> of=/dev/sdb bs=65536 (if your USB stick sdb).
and B) how to boot from a USB stick. (The BIOS did not present me with that option in setting up boot orders.)
Try pressing F8 during bootup - that's often the boot menu. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (1.0°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
