I know someone already announced it but I wanted to make sure that people saw the README before trying to install as the memory requirements are a little, uhm, extreme. All of the main mirrors should have it already, please use them: http://www.suse.com/us/support/download/ftp/germ_mirrors.html (German) http://www.suse.com/us/support/download/ftp/int_mirrors.html (Other) Thanks, README.FTP This SuSE Linux 8.0 installation tree is suitable for installation via ftp, http, nfs, smb or hard disk. System requirements You need at least 96MB main memory. To install on a machine with less memory a (linux) swap partition is necessary. Preparation o booting from floppy Download the floppy disk image disks/bootdisk as well as the module disk image files you need (at least disks/modules1 and likely the network modules from disks/modules3). Write the images to floppy disks using the 'dd' command: dd if=[path_to_image] of=/dev/fd0 bs=36b On non-linux systems, use the rawrite utility from the dosutils/rawrite directory (rawrite.exe). o booting from CD Download the iso image disks/boot.iso and burn a CD with it. Installation Boot from CD/floppy and at the bootpromt enter the installation source: linux install=ftp://ftp_server/directory Remember to substitute 'ftp_server' and 'directory' with the appropriate values (e.g. install=ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/8.0 if you're installing from the SuSE ftp server). Alternatively, choose 'manual installation' and configure the network in the installation program. Preparing your own installation server Just copy the whole installation tree to your local disk and make it available via network. -- -ckm
