I was testing the boot.iso installation yesterday and was unable to make any headway. Their is a failure at the Floppy IO, during the YAST configuration where it is checking packages.
boot.iso is intended for ftp installation. Was your computer connected to the Internet?
Please fix this.
I'm afraid you're asking in the wrong place. If you want to address your request to SuSE, you better do it at http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/feedback.cgi
I am currently installation Suse from a friends Personal Edition. At least this way I will be able to see what Suse looks like.
If you want to get an idea of what SuSE Linux looks like you probably better try LiveEval CD, that's a complete SuSE system running off a CD. It's available at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/live-eval-8.2/SuSE-8.2-LiveEval-i386-Int-RC2.iso
The CD installation is extremely unstable on the XWindow GUI. I'm not sure that I will even be able to finish, but time will tell.
What do you mean by "unstable"? Did it fail at some point?
I have not tried RedHat on this boxen yet, but I have tried Slackware, Gentoo, Debian with success.
Try SuSE LiveEval. It should work. Regards, -Kastus
