internet install of SuSE


Hi. I'm trying to install SuSE on my laptop that doesn't come with a CD/DVD drive, so I'm going to use a mirror for the install. I'm following the instructions at this website:
http://marc.herbert.free.fr/linux/win2linstall.html
because it has windows on it already and I thought I would like to keep it that way.

So my question is this. I want to install SuSE 10.0 but the mirrors that I checked do not have /boot/linux and /boot/initrd in the 10.0 directory like they do in the 9.x directories. Can I use the one's from 9.x and then tell the install to use the 10.0 directory and install 10.0?

thanks.

The repositories for internet installation are no longer on the main SUSE/Novell mirrors, but on the ones of OpenSUSE, e.g. ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distr...urce/suseboot/

Hope this helps!

great. I think that was just what I was looking for. I guess I forgot that opensuse is a separate being.

Thanks a bunch

What i dont get is after you type in IP and Path and hit ok it says nothing !??! Does that mean you have it wrong or right ? Also do you next hit installation ?
This think is pissing me off because it doesn't tell you what is wrong!
