Man, SuSE is starting to get sloppy like Red Hat, what is the deal?
Might be bad media, I ran into that problem myself with 9.1 pro. SuSE support had me check it using the following instructions... You are not sure if one of the installation CD's (or the DVD) might have a physical defect. You would like to check on this. Procedure Run the following command as root: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/dev/null (If the symbolic link /dev/cdrom doesn't exist, or is incorrect, then you have to replace /dev/cdrom by the appropriate device file. E.g. /dev/hdc if your CD/DVD drive is connected to the master of the secondary IDE port. This will also be the case, if you don't have Linux installed already, and therfore have to use the rescue system to do the checking.) If the media is fine, you should get a result like the following: linux:~ # dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/dev/null 1316996+0 records in 1316996+0 records out If, on the other hand, a physical defect on the media prevents the data from being successfully read, you will get an error message. -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.5-7.111-default x86_64
