How do you load from the network 9.3_64

barrythai · 05-17-2005, 08:03 AM

Have downloaded the 9.3 64 bit network iso and cannot figure out how to
get it to work.

I boot from the cd get the Installation screen and click installation

it loads the kernel check for hardware
then everything goes up the creek

It says it cannot find installation source in red on a blue screen
-well I thought it was supposed to go get the network?

I click on activating manual setup program
click English and UK then it says start installation or system with no network option

clicking on start installation I get a choice of cd-rom network or local disk

clicking on network it selects nfs out of ftp http smb tftp

clicking on this I get my router gateway at 192.168.1.1

it then asks for directory of the server /

since I do not know what server clicking on this fails with

can't find the directory

Anyone help how to get this to work?

SUSE 9.3 has not been released on FTP yet. That means if you don't have 9.3 on a CD/DVD or local network share, the ISO you downloaded is useless until the FTP version is available.

Thanks I presume you are talking 64 bit?

Do you know if LAMP works with the 9.3 as I'am stuck with Mandrake 10.1, can't move to 10.2 as apache is faulty with this and want someone to confirm that
9.3 64bit LAMP works?

If I can find this out I will buy the box.

Neither 32bit nor 64 bit have been released yet!
