I've just been trying to install SuSE 8.0 via FTP, but I couldn't believe it hwen I saw it: there is no ftp-installation option.
Hum, really?! Hope this will be fixed soon!
There are only two options left: - Installation via NFS (insecure !!!!) - Installation via SMB/Windows file sharing (doesn't work, because the installer can't find a no further specified module).
Please don't force us to use nfs - that sucks and is _really_ insecure.
FTP is insecure as well. The security should came from secure hashing the RPMs secured by a key stored on the book/install disk. I never verified if the suse FTP/NFS install is secure, BTW, anyone? But FTP is more commonly available, more fast and more easy to set up. I really would like to read a statement why this feature is not avialable in SuSE 8.0 from SuSE itself. oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
