Yep. Download the 5 CDs, loop-mount them etc., then boot from CD1, then on the screen use F3 and F4 to select an NFS install.
But will this work with a downloaded DVD iso? I've had no success with the Eval .iso image at all.
I've been doing this for years, you must have missed something !
Always worked before from copying the relevant directories of a ftp server onto a local networked drive.
same as copying the full dvd content to eg : /srv/ftp/pub/suse/i386/10.0 or mount -tiso9660 -oloop path/to/image.iso /srv/ftp/pub/suse/i386/10.0/
Getting nowhere loop mounting the DVD iso.
Is it simply unworkable for loop mounting?
Otherwise I'm going to have to download the whole 5x CDs' :-( A slow and painful process.
Download the first cd and use that to do your ftp install. Use ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-stable/inst-source/ as the install source. This way you only download what you need and save a little on bandwidth.
Hi, you can either use : * DVD * CD1 * Network install CD from iso (eg : ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-stable/inst-source/boot/boot.iso which is only 65 Mo to download). To boot your PC from cd/dvd reader: At the first menu screen, select "F3" then "F4" that pop-up a menu : select either http or ftp, depending on the mirror you intend tu use ;let say ftp for ftp4.gwdg.de in Server : ftp4.gwdg.de then TAB in Directory : pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-stable/inst-source/ then ENTER then select "F2" to choose your language then "INSTALLATION" from the main menu then ENTER All this will work if : * Your computer is attached to a network with proper gateway to the internet * You have a properly configured dhcp server running. (most DSL Routers will do) If 2nd point isnt ok, the install will fallback to a menu driven part of the installation where you could enter proper information concerning your network (Ip of your PC, netmask, gateway IP, dns IP) ... * Your network device is recognized by hardware detection and load a correct driver ... If you don't have an internet gateway (eg only USB DSL adapter) just forget about all this and download dvd iso ... Good Luck MaNU --
