Yes, I know. Take a look at part 3) THE LIVECD-ISO-TO-DISK METHOD: You can use this method for DVD installer too, like this for example: livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr /path-to-iso/SL-62-x86_64-2012-02-06-Install-DVD.iso /dev/sdc I install machines like that who don't have any DVD readers. Actually, this is the only method that works for me for the installer.
