I think it can be done if you setup NFS on VM. The initial problem for CMS is the 8.8 limit (fn is 8 bytes and ft being 8 bytes), and add in directories limit of 8 bytes and no imbeded spaces. In other words the Linux directory and file name structure is incompatable with CMS.
Linux can install from NFS. VM has NFS. That might be doable. SMB is a network sharing method for Windows can can be used by Linux. Also, if you have an FTP server on Windows, you can install via FTP to Linux. Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/25/05 11:39 AM >>> I am reading the instructions on how to do this and I am wondering why I need the SuSE files to be on a network drive. Why can't I just FTP them directly from the CD-Rom on a Windows pc directly into VM? The other suggestion in the SuSE installation manual is to use a Linux pc, but I don't think that I will be able to have one available to me. Thanks for responding to a newbie question. Maureen S.
