Given that the DVDs are bootable, why bother installing from Windows?
Well, I wanted to get the DVD in the drive before rebooting. Catching the drive before the boot sequence gets to far can sometimes be a pain.
Perhaps I am thinking of something else here, but didn't you know that when you place a disc into a device while holding down the SHIFT key will stop Windows from actually doing what you have set to be done to it when you insert a disc (that is, if it is an audio disc or a DVD the disc will not be played)?

Call me dense, but I never gave a thought to how to stop the process. Never really needed to. I've never set a default action other than popping up the "What am I supposed to do with this" window. If the action I want is on the list I use it or I close the window without choosing an option. I NEVER click the "Do this every time" box. -- “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests”. - Patrick Henry - _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
