Assuming this message is actually a question, can you do an install from a USB stick? Or if not, try the minimal install from a CD, or a network install? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Just another thought, Just get a openSUSE-13.1-NET-i586.iso or openSUSE-13.1-NET-x86_64.iso image, these are about 250MB, so fit on a cdrom. After booting, point either to the official http-source, or a local mirror. AFAICR the version of the net-boot-cdrom is irrelevant, it does not have to match the installation source. hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

If you have a CD and Internet connectivity you can get the Network CD ISO and install via it. It's only about 250MB. http://software.opensuse.org/131/en All the GUI stuff comes down via the Internet after the base install finishes.
