Since my hard drive is so much faster than my CDROM, I'd like to copy the contents of the seven CDs to the hard drive and install SuSE from there. I've been looking at the NFS installation method, but I don't have an NFS server and really don't want to setup another machine for this.

What are the steps to copy the contents to the hard drive?

I've got lots of disk space, so I can use my existing Windows partition or create a new ext2 partition for the CDs. Which ever is more efficient and faster.

Thanx

Look at this article http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/tbraza_dosinst.html It describes how to do exactly what you're thinking of. regards Anders
