Hi

Do anyone knows how to boot the suse10.2 internet installation image via usb or any other option? New harddisk and broken cd-rom player

I do not seem to get to the usb via bios. It's an old IBM T40.

Last time I installed on an other laptop, but the hardware is somewhat different so I spent a long time getting proper hardware support, shutdown hang, hibernation wrong etc.

Thanks -- Morten Bjørnsvik, Oslo, Norway

install can be done from two files : linux and initrd from the /boot/.. of any suse install cd (real place depends of distro version) and any grub boot media (floppy...) so the problem is to copy these files first to the Hard drive. any pre-installed system is ok, includins windows or dos if it can understand usb, cd or pcmcia stuff I think this is documented in the wiki, but don't have a link at hand jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Lucien Dodin, inventeur http://lucien.dodin.net/index.shtml -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Does the T40 support booting from USB? Many older models don't. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
