Suse 9.0 Ftp install
I was trying to do a Suse 9.0 ftp install and i put in the ftp address and it says ip address not recognized i tried a bunch of tings but couldn't figure it out any help would be greatly appreciated.

After the cd boots highlight installation and then in the boot options(promt) enter:
install=ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/ Or type in an ftp mirror. When it asks for the directory to get the install files you will see somthing like.... /pub/suse/i386/ just finish the file path with "current". Not 9.0. /pub/suse/i386/current Seemed to work for me so far. I'm still watching it install right now. Good luck. Also, I have not tried entering a mirror ftp location. I entered the example above. I'm sure a mirror location would go faster, this is going ssslllllllooooooooooooooowwwww. |
The boot options(prompt) never worked for me. That seemed obvious since it seemed to only boot to the CD and didn't load anything for the network card.
What I did was continue with the Manual installation option, then select the proper module for my network card from those given. After that, I continued into the Network installation option, only then could I have it go to an FTP server. Luckily, I was behind DHCP, so the card just picked up the settings, configuring for DSL or Cable first might be a tad impossible, I assume? Anyway, ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/SuSE/suse/i386/9.0 gave me great rates seeing as how the SuSE FTP server was totally full. |
