sorry, I don't know is this the exact wording in english (I translate from the french yast)
there is an option to "install to a directory" in yast.
What exactly do this option?
I would like to install the new 10.1 on a server with the minimal stopping of it.
may I do the initial install with this option? of course restarting will be needed for final :-)
thanks
jdd

Say you create a new partition ,and mounted it somewhere , and you want to install Suse-10 into it ,without rebooting from you running OS. so You choose Install to directory in yast2 and point it to the directory,which by default is /var/tmp/dirinstall ,I found this situation most usefull when I wanted to run Xen-3.0 my SUSE-10 box which is buggy if done directly thro' Yast2->XEN. I installed into a dircetory ,and started Xend ,and booted it as guest domain. HTH digz
