Ladies and Gentlemen I have been using Windows for the last 20 years and would like to try Linux. I don't have specifically "linux compatible" hardware and cannot afford to buy me such just for a try. Efforts I made in the past few months trying to install "Linguas OS", Ubuntu and finally OpenSUSE on old, currently not used computers remained mainly fruitless. (Somebody suggested that is probably hopeless, if I try to get Linux running all by myself and without a very knowledgable teacher around. This may be deducted from the messages I posted here regarding my problems with saving a file to a floppy.) Anyway, I am planning to give it another try on an old notebook (Sharp Moebius) somebody is giving me. Question: Does the OpenSUSE installtion work WITHOUT internet connection? All the available lines are occupied by other computers. If it does, are there any special "precautions" I need to observe? Thank you in advance for your help.
