I want to install suse 6.0/6.3 on a 486 with 200 MB free for partitioning etc. The only think i want to be able to do with that system is access the internet with an external isdn modem (uses AT commands), for telnet etc, no X or KDE, just a minimum install.
I did just that this weekend... except I only had 80MB to play with ;-)
That pc doesnt have a cdrom drive nor is it in a network. The only way i can install linux is using a zipdrive. Is that possible, and what files should i copy from the suse cd(s) to the zipdisk in order to install suse?
I'm not sure whether this is possible. I did my install over a network. You might be able to do a 'Hard Disk' install. When this happens, you have to copy the files you want onto your hard disk (in this case the zip drive, and assuming that you can access the zip during install). You then point YaST at that and go ahead. The full details are in the SuSE manual (page 68 in my SuSE 6.1 manual).
If you want to know what packages, I can send you my configuration that I managed to fit in 80MB of disk space, so you should be alright (but remember that you'll have to put other stuff from the SuSE CD on the zip disk as well).
Have fun ;-) Chris -- Apologies to everyone who has been waiting for replies off me over the past few weeks - I've been away from my computer.
