I'm trying to install 11.1 onto a machine without writing a disk and have got stuck. Apologies if this has been discussed before, a quick search didn't turn it up.
I'm following the instructions on http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_without_CD and I've installed the new kernel, modified grub and am running the installation but am stuck at finding "the server" and "the directory" containing "the install files". I've assumed that refers to the place where I downloaded the boot iso.
I've selected FTP network installation and DHCP config, which works, and then for the IP address of the FTP server I gave 195.135.221.130, which I got by pinging download.suse.org and for the directory on the server I gave /distribution/11.1/iso, which is the path to the boot iso. It said "no repository found" in both cases. I also said no username or password and no proxy.
So what have I done wrong, and where could I have found the information?
Thanks, Dave
You need to point it to the repos instead of the iso. The installer cant find anything besides the iso image, as it sees as a file. So redo the steps and exchange the /iso path to the /repo Good luck! -- /Rikard Johnels
