Gee - what a disappointment. I did find boot floppies for Open SuSE. http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_without_CD#Internet.2FNetwork_install_using_GRUB.2FLILO Internet/Network install using boot floppies To boot and install from floppy disks you need to download the first installation CD iso (SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-i386-GM-CD1.iso). Now the following needs to be done as root from the directory where you saved the CD1 installation iso. Do the following as root from the folder where the iso exists: # su # mount -t iso9660 -o loop SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-i386-GM-CD1.iso /mnt # /mnt/boot/mkbootdisk /mnt Do the next command for each floppy disk, bootdisk1-7 # dd if=bootdisk1 of=/dev/fd0 -- Kind regards, Jonathan _______________________________________________ CWE-LUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.cwelug.org/ http://www.cwelug.org/archives/ http://www.cwelug.org/mailinglist/
