OK, here goes: Old Pentium 166 machine, not able to boot from CD. To make this worse, the machine is 100% SCSI. I found out that you could make boot disks from the CD, including module disks. I can get thru module disk 1, but module disk 2 just hangs the machine. I don't want to call SuSE because I want to also put the software on a different machine, one that I will use much more frequently, as soon as I put it on a LAN, ehich I haven't wired up yet. I will probably need more help with that, but I don't know. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Hmmm.... And you can comfirm that the scsi-card is CD bootable ? And that you have choosen the right CD module, if any, from the Modules 2 disk ? If, however you still cant progress along these lines, and still have a running system somewhere in your vicinity, then I suggest using the /etc/exports and NFS utilities to make the CDs or DVD mountable across the LAN. You could start, by exporting the SuSE 7.3 cds or dvd, then upgrading to 8.0 the same way. Cheers. -- Kemdi IN_SuSE_d Since 5.2 123792 of counter.li.org ICQ:112290572
