Re: [SLE] 7.2 install from hard disk

I swap it into other machine and try to install suse onto 4 gig drive via hard disk option. It recognizes the drive when I specify it /dev/hdb but once I tell it /suse/i386/7.2/(suse/) it cannot find image.

to do an installation from hard disk, after you copy the files to /usr/local/ftp/pub do: cd /usr/local/ftp/pub/suse/suse gzip -dc < images/root > setup/inst-img
