However, can I do it 3) by simply using GRUB? Like here: http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_without_CD#Grub Is this enough? Can I just download these 2 files and store on the "old" partition to install from?
# wget http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/boot/i386/loader/lin... # wget http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/boot/i386/loader/ini...
That would seem like the simplest thing to do. However, does that work?
Yes. It works. Multiple NICs might cause an issue. IIRC I've written about this before. It's possible to pass arguments to linuxrc including the order of how kernel (NIC) modules are loaded. See http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc for all the details. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
