Dude, There may be a way to do a install off another computer with ftp, but I don't believe YaST supports that currently. I think FTP requires a specific port to recieve all of it's data, and nfs works with dynamic port assignmemnt... I think... I'm not sure if SuSE has a url for nfs install... When you go to install (I am assuming 5.2) look to see if a pre-install kernel has something like ftp-install... I would suggest using a null modem link between the two with pppd... then seeing if you could use smb between the two machines to install...

Hello, for jonathan's remark: It is possible to install from the internet via nfs. I never tried, but there is a URL in your support data base: <A HREF="http://localhost/support-db/sdb_e/ke_suselinux-ftp.html"><A HREF="http://localhost/support-db/sdb_e/ke_suselinux-ftp.html</A">http://localhost/support-db/sdb_e/ke_suselinux-ftp.html Wether this works via a WINGATE proxy... no clue. maybe you have to set some environment variables (I do this in /etc/profile) ftp_proxy=<A HREF="http://proxy.cityweb.de:8080/"><A HREF="http://proxy.cityweb.de:8080/</A">http://proxy.cityweb.de:8080/ http_proxy=<A HREF="http://proxy.cityweb.de:8080/"><A HREF="http://proxy.cityweb.de:8080/</A">http://proxy.cityweb.de:8080/ no_proxy='www.cww.de, www.cityweb.de, localhost, slartibartfast, arthurdent' ince my provider uses a proxy.

the question is, on which machine is the nfs volume going to be mounted? i assume if you are using wingate proxy on another machine, you will be using a windows machine and you are trying to install linux on another machine which is hooked up to the net proxying through the windows box. am i right? if that is the case, i don't think you can do ftp over nfs. but if you have a machine on which you can install one of the *bsd unix, which ftp installation support is available right out of the stock installation boot disk, then what you'll do is to install something like netbsd (which is very small, very quick to install) on that spare machine. after the installation, mount the nfs volume onto the netbsd machine's ftp home. then install linux on the machine you wanted. i don't think it is impossible to make a boot disk for linux that supports ftp install, but i am not a boot disk expert. there are linux distributions which you may install over ftp. one such distributions is redhat. i don't know much about others like slackware and debian. it has been a long time since i last installed a slackware or debian. but please don't think i am asking you to install redhat. it is a sad case that suse does not have ftp installation option. hope this helps. regards, C.
