I'm not sure about Suse10.0, but I use Opensuse10.1 CD #1 to do network install of 10.1 (of course), 10.2, and SLED10, SLES10. All work. To do network install, I boot the PC, and when the nice welcome screen of OpenSuse appears, I type in the options: Install=nfs://10.0.0.30:/srv/www/htdocs/pub hostip=10.0.0.50 netmask=255.255.255.0 We can even put autoyast=nfs://10.0.0.30:/autoyast/template.xml for automatic install. Suse is very cool. Of course, we should put all the contents of Opensuse10.2 CD into /srv/www/htdocs/pub and make the NFS export of it on 10.0.0.30 first. I love to do network install. Thanks Suse. BTW, the resouce for network install is in http://www.opensuse.org web, just search for "network install". -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 6:43pm up 11:09, 2.6.18.2-34-default GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org
