[opensuse] Installing openSUSE on a Laptop
I have an ACER Aspire 5315 with MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-850S ATA DVD-CD Rom drive and I'm trying to install openSUSE 10.0 on that. The laptop has Vista home premium as OS. An installation with the SUSE linux 10.0 DVD stranded, as the DVD drive could not be found - although the installationprogram wa started from that same drive!!! ?? The trick with Instlux from Marc Herbert (http://marc.herbert.free.fr/linux/win2linstall.html did not work. Then I tried to make an ISO9660 disk with openSUSE-10.3-GM-KDE-Live-i386.iso. That did not result in a bootable disk as promised. Do somebody have a good advice for me?

10.0 is no longer supported. Go with 10.3 - that is much more advanced. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I agree, I put 10.3 AMD64 on my Acer and with a few hardware gotcha's it's humming along fine. 10.2 was problematic for me trying to do wireless networking, and oddly enough an older Ubuntu-Live-DVD nailed the wireless but failed on the ATI graphics. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Why do you want to install 10.0, which is obsolelte and out of support, on a seemly new machine? Install 10.3, or wait for 11 in less that two months. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
