 Posted: Thu Dec 28, 2006 3:57 am Post subject: Suse 10 installation from hard disk/ftp/anything without cds |
 |
|
Look, this thing has been getting very frustating.
I have 5 iso images of SUSE 10.
I DONT wanna burn the cds.
So i plugged out the kernel and initrd from the first iso and put in into the grub using GRUB for NT.
So it shows up very nicely. And when i boot , the manual installation starts up.
It says "Load Modules","Start Installation " and all that stuff.
1) So i take start instalation from hard disk. It says select the partition and so i do. It says enter the directory and i enter the full path of the first iso. Fantastic. A progress bar comes up and says loading somethin. Then the installation starts up and i am very happy. Then when i choose everything, it says could not find package source at hd://suse/whatever path device=/dev/hda1 and all that. So this plan failed.
2) Okay i set up an ftp server on another comp and copied contents of all cd's in to the folder. I start the ftp installation with all my modules loaded and then i enter the ip and the folder name
. AGain the progress bar comes up and the installation starts.
Again when it comes to start installation it says No package source found at ftp://172.16.52.48/suse/
and now it is getting really frustating.
Please someone help[ me out.

hey thanks for the reply.
But thats not the point. My internet connection is very slow. The initial progress bar requires 67 Mb og data. It would take me a lot of time to get that. I already have all the data with me.
Plz tell me some other method. Remember that i already have an incoomplete 9.1 install in one of my partitions. So tell me some other methos not involving downloading all the stuff. Plz.

| then your entering the wrong "path" for the source you want to use...... I can't tell you what that would be as I don't know the path your needing to use.......
