You need at least 1 CD. The easiest is to use the boot.iso and install via FTP.
why can't he: mount -o loop -t iso9660 <cd1-isofilename> <mountpoint>
See the answer from Eberhart. I was wrong. I will include it in makeSUSEdvd (That becomes more and more a makeSUSErepo. :-) )
I believe that he said he didn't want to create a cd; perhaps has no cd/dvd drive.
He also stated that he wrote one disk the other times, so I asumed he had a writer, but did not want to waste the CD's. In that case the boot.iso is the best choice. boot.iso should be (in my opinion) always be the second choice. The first choice is actuallu buying the box. :-) I understand that that is not always possible. It is however a misconception that you need to have everything at your home when you want to install an OS. For some OSses that is the case. For the better OSses it is not and network instalation was there first. :-) houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
