Thanks for you reply Harsh,
Concerning your point 2 below: yes the boot sequence is set to CDROM first.
But now to point 1: I copied the iso file to the CD - and yes, hoped for
success. With Winrar I looked inside the iso package and could see an
autorun file. I unpacked the file and copied all files onto a CD - no
success.
To make an image from the iso file did not dawn on me. The good folks at
Suse could have mentioned this in the instructions. This leads me to my
next question. How do you convert the iso file into an image file?
Thank you for taking the time to reply,
Heri

hi
1) did you burn the CD as an image or did you just copied the iso on the cd ?
2) check the boot sequence of your system - change it to CDROM - Harddrive - Other
Hope this helps
