do you know where can i download suse 9.0?

[MonkeyPie]

You can either download it from the Suse website, (this will be a "live" cd and cant install it to the hard drive) or can find ISO's on BitTorrent, or IRC, or if you want I will send you rar'd isos over a weeks time through email. Those are your solutions.

It has no boot. There are boot images on CD 1 but you'll have to put them on a floppydisk.

I want to make CD1 bootle, does anybody know someting ?

[Underdosed]

Can you explain me how to do the boot floppydisk??

I have found a boot folder on cd1, and an archive called bottdisk, but is 1.474.560 bytes and the floppydisk 1.457.664 bytes, how can i do it?

Thx

PD: I have to do it in winxp

Here how you can make all the floppy disk you need 6 disk


Create a boot disk
------------------

All kernels are modularized. This means that almost all drivers are loaded as kernel modules.

You can create a new boot/install floppy if you have access to either a running Linux box or a running DOS box.

Under DOS, write it to a formatted (i.e. error-free) 1.44MB-floppy using
CD1:/dosutils/rawrite/rawrite.exe. For Windows systems there is
CD1:/dosutils/rawwritewin/rawwritewin.exe.

Under Linux, use a command like

cd /where_CD1_is_mounted/boot
dd if=bootdisk of=/dev/fd0u1440

Now you have a new boot/install floppy which you can use to boot either the installed system or the rescue system from CD.

In addition to a boot disk you will also need modules disk 1!

Create a modules disk
----------------------

Only a few modules fit on the bootdisk. Therefore four modules floppies exist. If you do not find the driver for your hardware on the normal disk, just insert the appropriate modules disk as soon as linuxrc starts.

Choose one of the modules disk images in this directory according to the list below.

Under Windows/DOS, use rawrite as descibed in 'Create a boot disk'. Under Linux, use a command like

cd /where_CD1_is_mounted/boot
dd if=modules1 of=/dev/fd0u1440

Of course you would replace 'modules1' with the image name you want.

modules1: USB and FireWire (IEEE1394) modules.

modules2: IDE/RAID/SCSI modules.

modules3: Network modules.

modules4: PCMCIA and file system modules and old (non-ATAPI) CDROM drivers.

modules5: More IDE/RAID/SCSI modules.

See modules[12345].txt for a detailed listing.

Oh, thanks for the answer, now i know how to do

Thanksss

But does anybody know how to make a cd?

I don't have a floppy drive in my computer.

Yes I know that i can burn the floppy image to a cd but than I have to burn 4 cd's.

[jmdlcar]

You need to fine someone with a disk drive to make the disks for you. Because you need SuSE cd #1 in the cd drive when you boot your system up.

the people at suse said they don't aprove of the bittorrent release but they amited there is really not much they can do about it. Linux being free and all.
