[opensuse] OpenSUSE 10.2 install from USB stick
I want to install OpenSUSE 10.2 only from a USB stick. I see info in the OpenSUSE site about doing an install from a USB stick, getting all the packages over the network. I want to get all from the USB stick. Is there any reason I could not 'simply': Copy the OpenSUSE install DVD to a USB stick. Run syslinux to make the stick bootable Boot/install from the stick. I would imagine an autoyast.xml file could be placed in the root of the USB stick as well. Any known problems with this approach? Any obvious step I have missed? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

Bat netiquette here, but has no one done an install fully off a USB stick? I will be trying it nonetheless. On Mon, 2007-05-21 at 11:14 +0200, Roger Oberholtzer wrote:

Don't know of any issues there. Should simply work. Steffen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
