SUSE 10.0 ftp install help

lematyke · 10-25-2005, 09:11 PM

I'm a newbie trying to install SUSE 10.0. Got the kernel loaded up ok, and am wanting to finish the install using ftp. What are some good ftp ip's to put in where it asks? Only found 1 at madpenguin. 195.135.221.134 , never connects though. Any help would be great. Old machine running 98 currently, 233mhz, 128 ram, Pentium MMX. Thanks

Heres a list:

You can ping the servers to get their IP addresses and then use the folder structure from the 'Installation Repository' links.

And for your computer I can't suggest Xfce enough. Really look into it.

If you do decide to go with Xfce then select gnome when you have to and then make sure that the Xfce packages are selected from the package selection screen by searching for it.

You can find our more about Xfce from:

Although this tutorial was originally written for SuSE v9.1, I believe it would probably still be applicable. I haven't tried it myself so I can't say for sure, but it definitely was a major help when I did an FTP install. Good luck with it
