can't burn a boot cd of Suse


Hello!
I've downloaded the boot.iso file from Suse. I tried to burn it on CD with Nero, there I've selected a boot CD. Yet, it doesn't work, although the BIOS settings are ok. Which option do I have to change? I haven't found a proper installation guide dealing with this problem

I don't think you need to set it as a boot cd when you burn it. do this from the command line:

(run this command to see the dev you're gonna use):
cdrecord -scanbus

ok, here's what that gives me:

scsibus0:
0,0,0 0) 'Compaq ' 'DVD-ROM DVD-114 ' '1.14' RemovableCD-ROM
0,1,0 1) 'IDE-CD ' 'R/RW 4x4x24 ' 'C12a' Removable CD-ROM

ok, see that 0,1,0 before the r/rw drive? you gotta remember that.

now go to the dir which you have the iso in

cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,1,0 -data <filename>.iso

replace the speed by your write speed, and the 0,1,0 by the correct device that the cdrecord -scanbus command gave you

In Nero, there is an option under the file menu (I think). It says Burn image, select that it should bring up a locate box. Find the .iso file and burn it. This is all from memory but it should be pretty close.

Cool
