I am so excited to have SUSE 9.3 linux.(I download ISO file from internet)
cause i don;t have enough blank disk to burn all 5 ISO file.so I burn the first disk only(I was heard that this way also works). then I begin to install.
after finishing 1st disk setup, reboot, then Yast told me can't find the 2nd disk, the i press" show details" below, then I type"cd:///windows/f/suse/cd2.iso" in the URL box.(according the partition message,i saw my iso file is in"windows/f") , but Yast showd me"error mounting" "abort?skip?"
I think maybe I have to mount the 2nd ISO file before installing the 2nd DIsk, could anyone tell me if i am right and please tell me how to install in details,thanks very much!
thanks first,
but i wonder when and how I should mount ISO file,can you give me any clew?cause all i can find in the net is to teach you to mount in the linux OS, but i can't even enter os cause it was not installed completely.and after I boot my suse 9.3,it will bring me to YAST no.2 disk install interface,I mean i don't see any command line so i can enter command.
and in fact,my iso file is in hdb5/suse/cd2.iso (FAT PARTITION NO DOUBT)
thanks for your patient to understand my poor english,^_^
If you want to use installation source from HDD extract all isos in same location . Boot from first cd and choose manual install or simply hard drive install and point to this directory. Now installation should find all packages from there. only tried with 9.2 ftp version, but it should work. I installed 9.3 too but i created own DVD iso from all 5 Cd's and burned.
If you have windows installed (fat is for windows) use daemontools to mount or winiso to extract. In linux command is
mount o-loop filename mount-point
copy contents of all CDs in same folder for example suse
it should contain then folders:
/boot
/docu
/dosutils
/media.1
/media.2
/media.3
/media.4
/media.5
/suse
and some files
press F3 or some other F button not sure and choose harddrive install it asks your partition name. If you know this name enter it (/hda1 or something ) and folder suse is in. For example /suse
while installing you probably can`t mount iso file
