I managed to create a bootable CD from Linux, containing most of a useful install. I downloaded selected parts of the SuSE ftp tree. Then I made a cdimage with mkisofs like: mkisofs -b disks/bootdisk -c boot.catalog -r -L /home/ole/download/suse/ Afterwards I burned it with cdrecord. The only problem was that for some reason Yast2 would not run, but I would probably have chosen to install with Yast1 anyway. I had also missed a few packages - even a couple of essential ones - like textutils and timezone - but after I had installed those, I now have a fully working system with almost all I need, and it does not require a fulltime CD-jockey to install. I am happy now. SuSE 7.1 is *so* much better than 6.3 :-) Regards Ole
