Well, you *could* disconnect *one* of the SATA drives and plug in a SATA DVD long enough to install a base system, then remove the DVD and reattach the hard drive. You surely do not require all four SATA drives for a base installation.
Why not just use a USB DVD drive? That computer is likely USB 2 and and external drive is always handy. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
