But before going further, I have a question: why is it necessary to abort install and search manually for iso image, and not boot directly in the image? (like any CD/DVD)
That;s not exactly clear... you mean to say why can't openSUSE install directly from USB image?
my goal should be to have a "live" openSUSE on usb key, that is a version that boot and run or can be installed like some live cd do. In fact I can't make the system proposed in the wiki page work. all tried with the 10.3 opensuse, mini cd, kde live or kde install cd * On a small iomega Mb key, I could install the boot system and boot from the key. But then I couldn't make it find the iso image * on an Gb key, I had many problems to make the key bootable. This may be caused by my (acer laptop) computer. - most of the time, it don't find syslinux at all and gives "hdd without OS" or "FDD without OS" - however it finds the key, it gives it's brand name. - once I had syslinux boot, but don't find the kernel (of course all was fine on the key, AFAIK) I tried to install openSUSE as said in an other page and could do, but the result didn't boot (I could start openSUSE from a grub console) remarks: trying to boot the mini iso is only for test, because the mksusebootdisk utility copies all what is already on the mini iso, so the second step is unusefull I could find no way to open a cd image from the yast menus. However, opening console #9 I could navigate the system, find the cd image, even mount it as loop and read it, but no way to make YaST continue using it. jdd NB: Mandriva sell a mandriva on key, so it's possible, at least with some hardware -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
