suse 9,0

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.
