Seriously, I just don't know why that would be. I'm old school, and burned a dvd and didn't worry about a net connection till it was done.
I'm installing from USB pen drive, but that shouldn't make any difference. I also have installed without worrying about a network connection in the past.
Unless you're an expert, the only way to do it and keep all your configurations is from the dvd install. Boot and choose upgrade. You can only go online after the upgrade finishes. This really is a pity when you see Ubuntu with a one click upgrade with everything coming from Internet after each new release.
No argument with that! As laptops are getting thinner one of the losses is a DVD drive. (the plethoa of USB ports is another loss.) Being able to install or update from a USB stick as effortlessly as we used to - or some of us who have the PMA and lap-cat software did) - with the DVD (and memtest and do maintenance) is getting increasingly important. You are right. Suse used to have one of the nicest installers, even the dreaded ZD-Net reviews used to admit that. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
