    Can you clarify that?

    I have a machine with no CD/DVD. (It does have a floppy). (No free
    drive bays.)

    I have YOU setup to download from a SuSE FTP mirror.

    It is still running SuSE 9.2 simply because I don't know of an easy
    way to upgrade it and for now it is not a major issue for me.

    (I know I can boot to floppy, then point to the FTP server. I've dont
    that befreo, but I'm lazy and am looking for an easier solution. I
    also assume I could buy a USB CD/DVD and boot the normal CDs from
    there.)

    Thanks
    Greg
