[opensuse] Booting HP 2133 Suse 10.3 LiveCD and Installing Software



I've burned a livecd for suse 10.3. I went into the HP 2133's bios and
made sure it would see the external usb dvd drive. It starts to boot but
always has a fatal error that says it cannot find the cdrom drive.

I've had the mini notebook for a week now. It has Suse Linux Enterprise
Desktop. In all this time, I have yet to be able to install a single new
program. I'm about 3 seconds from installing some other distro that's
easier to use. No matter what I do, it always says there is some
dependency. I haven't found a way to automatically resolve dependencies.
It always says it's resolving them but it can never find the packages.
It would be SO much easier to just use something like yum on Fedora.

What am I doing wrong? I've tried yast2 in the command line and I've
tried the menu items for installing software.
