You have the normal setup loader - lovely! (your software repository in yast will also reflect the iso at the end of the install) A little bit more work than the PXE option (which I also use occasionaly, but if you have enough diskspace, but certainly an extra way to do it!) Cheers! Yogi PS: nice site! :-) Hi Vavai,

I had the same problem on this latptop I’m typing on now, only I solved the problem with:

grub4dos (nice bootloader – boot almost anything)

“partedmagic” to create ext3 partition at end of disk (>sda6, eg sda8)
copy source DVD iso to root of ext3 part (give it friendly name eg oss111.iso)

extracted iso to (ext3part)/os11/..

use grub4dos menu.lst:
title os11 install
find –set-root /os11/readme
kernel /os11/boot/i386/loader/linux showopts silent
initrd /os11/boot/i386/loader/initrd

the installer would then default back to textmode and ask you where the iso is, which you can locate on then sda7, and viola! You have the normal setup loader – lovely!
(your software repository in yast will also reflect the iso at the end of the install)

A little bit more work than the PXE option (which I also use occasionaly, but if you have enough diskspace, but certainly an extra way to do it!)

Cheers!
Yogi

Don’t forget to give a thick on Open Port in Firewall if you used Firewall. The default image directory is /tftpboot. I’m using /srv/tftpboot because I’m not really comfortable to make new folder on root directory. I highly recommended to used this folder to prevent any confused setting. If you wish to used your custom folder, don’t forget to change the proper setting on /etc/dhcpd.conf on next setting. Please refer to my post earlier this month about PXE-Boot problem.
