Re: Please help me get over an installation hurdle

The files mentioned by myself and Shmuel are on the suse cd.
The readme in the /boot directory only refers to mkbootdisk and gives full
instructions. I would have thought this only applied if your operating
system is linux but this is not clear. I would have thought that the
/boot/image was the file you burn with rawrite under windows.


My apologies for being so dense. What I am getting so far is that I
need to put CD1 on my windows machine and rawrite /boot/image and then
boot the soon to be LINUX machine with that floppy at which point the
CDs can be read to complete the installation, said floppy being the
only one I will need.


thanks
