I downloaded the openSuSE 10.1 ISOs with BitTorrent, but discovered that they are too large to burn to the CD- Rs at my disposal. So, I thought I'd have a go at putting them up on my LAN's FTP server to see if I could do a (local) network install.
I downloaded, burned and booted from the mini ISO, and I've managed to get as far as the installer logging into my FTP server and requesting
/boot/i386/root, which, unsuprisingly, doesn't exist, but it's not a bad start for a first attempt... Create a structure like;
<your ftp directory>/suse-10.1/CD1 <your ftp directory>/suse-10.1/CD2 <your ftp directory>/suse-10.1/CD3 <your ftp directory>/suse-10.1/CD4 <your ftp directory>/suse-10.1/CD5 And then copy the CD's into those directories. Point the install to <your ftp directory>/suse-10.1/CD1. The install will then automatically assume that CD2...CD5 is there and use them.
Many thanks,
PJ.
