Can I use the SuSE 11 DVD as a rescue system to boot 11.0?
In the old suse installation, there was a choice to boot an installed system, is that still available?
The feature was removed. :-(
But linuxrc still has it. This is from memory (so please cmiiw) but the general steps are something to the effect of; - boot from dvd - choose 'installation' - hit 'abort'/'quit'/'yes I mean it' until you get the red 'an error occured'-screen - hit 'ok' - choose 'start installation' - choose 'boot installed system' At this point linuxrc looks at the partitions and gives you a choice of the ones the are 'regular' filesystems. - choose the 'correct' partition - boot Not very 'flashy', but it does work. It suffers the same weakness as the 'boot installed system' from the installer; You end up with a system running the kernel from the dvd, which in many cases is older than the one on disk. So there are some operations that just won't work properly. But you *can* 'boot installed system' from the dvd.
