[opensuse] Installing from USB
I've successfully used this: http://en.opensuse.org/SuSE_install_from_USB_drive to set up a bootable USB drive and use that as my install medium. Worked great for 11.0. Now I'm trying to set it up for 11.1, and it's not working... Near the end of the instructions it tells you to use mksusebootdisk to make the USB drive bootable, and that the mksusebootdisk script is in the syslinux package. I have syslinux installed and that script is not part of the package. I played around with webpin on the openSUSE website to see if I could track down this elusive script... but didn't get anywhere. Tried Googling as well.. found lots of hits on using it, but nothing on it missing from syslinux. So.. has anyone managed to get this bit to work from 11.0?

Hi Clayton,
From the start of the article[0], "...you should have...this modified[1] version of mkbootdisk". Download the modified script and you should be good to go.

Ah... Wiki blindness has set in quite well with me. I read it, but... I didn't read it. Thanks for that! C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
