How do you do it? My cds were copyied top to /hda11/suse8.0 As I did with previous version that worked ok using YaST1, I copied all the cds into th esame directory using cp * /hda11/suse8.0 -Rv Every time using the bootdisks the actual error is /dev/hda11: no such device On the menus it shows /hda11 with the correct ext3 file system I seem to remember needing to go into debug and change a few system setting, but don't remember. The ideal method would use the boot cd, but really lost with that. My goal it to update and be able to access the hard drive for additon software installation. It appears this isw not covered under my free installation support , becasue it is not the normal way to install SuSE. thanks in advance, joe

You have to copy them to /hda11/suse8.0/CD1 and then CD2, CD3 and so on.

So hda11 is ext3? Then you have to do manual installation and load the ext3 module first.

You have to copy the CDs into separate directories named CD1, CD2 etc. *and* you have to use 'cp -a' to really get everything you need copied. Create directories: for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do mkdir -p /hda11/suse8.0/CD$1 done And then for each CD mount /dev/cdrom /mnt cd /mnt cp -a . /hda11/CD1 cd / umount /dev/cdrom of course changing CD1 to match the CD you're copying.
