Take all the files from created floppy and copy on ext3 freshly formatted USB-Stick.
Configure your BIOS to First Bootup -USB

How about to burn it on a CDR?
The boot.iso of suse 9.3 i downloaded , i burned it on a CDR, and boot from it, choose first choice of boot from disk, it just boot the grub bootloader of my HDD and eneter suse bootloader.
I am afraid that if I remove suse 10.0 bootloader by fdisk /mbr, it won't be able to do that.

Netinstall boot.iso should prompt you to bot from HD. Doesn't it?. You have to choose the proper options. See these F1-F4 buttons. Whatever they offer. I can even boot from FTP if I select correct FTP server and directory on server

i will look into it, thanks.

I just reshuffled my HDD, i can dual boot windows XP with SUSE 10.0, very convenient.
Great experience with SUSE.

Told ya! SuSE is way ahead of others. No offense to others, but facts...

My CDRW and DVDRW do not mount in suse 10.0,
they are supposed to be /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd, nut when i mount, the system does not recognise, what can i do?

i put the CD and DVD into the rom, reboot and suse can auto-detect now.
another problem,
when i installed suse, i did not choose Gnome, after that i use YaST to install all Gnome files, but in the boot session, no Gnome to choose, why?

Not sure why doesn't it display there.
On the Logon Screen, the options are usually seen on the "Sessions" button.

Moreover, you can also try using

Code:

user@computer$ switchdesk gnome

I would like to tell you GNOME doesn't work good on SuSE. (Discussed previously in this forum.)

I had 9.3 ...don't know how will it perform on SuSE.

You mean to enter this (user@computer$ switchdesk gnome) at shell ?

TigerLinux · 10-17-2005, 10:18 AM

suse does not recognise switchdesk

I did install Gnome Desktop from YaST, I just check the entire section and I have Gnome, be sure to have all the packages installed.

But as it was mentioned before, SuSE does not go well with Gnome, i don't know why, but I have some weird problems, yesterday when I was in YaST suddenly the lower menu disappeared, this morning my mouse disappeared, and I had to do Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and then switch to KDE. Gnome and SuSE not a good combination, although I like the default theme style, it's just too buggy..

TigerLinux · 10-17-2005, 07:22 PM

yeah, i did not install all gnome files, now i install all and it appears, it works fine fo me.

suse ftp is slow to download the patches for 10.0,
can you give me a faster ftp/http for those patches?
