Hi
I'm a newbee at linux, so the questions may seem rather simple, but i seem to be stuck.
I have purchased a new computer without an OS because I wanted to install openSuse 10.2.
I have then downloaded the DVD and started the installation from that.
It then turns out that the installation program does not support the SATA controller that is on my motherboard.
Both CD/DVD and HD is on SATA
There is no floppy disk
I have the downloaded the driver that it seems I should use.
This contains a driverdisk img-file that according to the readme I should use rawwritewin.exe to move onto a floppy disk.
My windows is also a quite new computer, so that does not have a floppy drive either.
That meens that rawwritewin doesn't seem to be the right tools for me.
Now I seem to be stuck.
It seems USB is working on my Linux computer, so I've been trying to get the contents of the driverdisk onto a usb stick.
I just cant get that to work - the setup program doens't seem to want to read this as a driver disk.
Can someone please help me with what to do in this case where I don't have a floppy?

Poul
