Hi,
I am running Linux with a reasonable HD so I wonder if it is possible to put the contents of the DVD into a folder on the HD so I can install & uninstall at my whim without putting the CD/DVD in?
Any ideas?
James
Hi All, new to list :O) Yes James you can do this, just make a directory somewhere and copy the contents of the disk. I've done this myself with the CDs (hint: seems to work best if you copy CDs in reverse order; because then you get the package info from disk 1 which contains full descriptions). When using Yast you can tell it to use a directory on your hard drive as it's installation medium, and that's it. If you're running SuSE on a second machine, you can also set up an ftp server on the first machine, and configure the second to access the disk contents that way too. Cheers, Rob
