i'm trying to install suse linux 8.2 on my laptop through ftp, but i have difficulties setting up. so i try another method that i download the whole directory of 8.2 from ftp site, but i don't know how to install through harddisk, by the way i'm currently using winXP and the file system is fat32. i need help installing suse...
i would be very glad if i can find detailed instruction.
honestly, for just a few dollars, you can get it on CD - even on ebay. that way, you don't have to worry about all the hazards of downloading...and, you'd be supporting a linux org. in fact, you should join a local LUG (linux users group) and ask the people there! that way, you get what you need AND become part of your local community.
hmm...i know installing from CD-rom would make live much easier, but...i'm only a student, i don't have that much money to buy and i don't even have a credit card to buy from ebay...and our local LUG? i only find a small group...it that because i'm living in Singapore...a country too small...
i'm so glad that you can send me cd's suse 9, thank you very much. but i cannot see your e-mail address so i just email by clicking contact user on the forum. hope you have received my e-mail. thanks!
