Installing SuSE 9.2

FUXC · 03-30-2005, 03:42 PM

I was wondering if there were any .iso's around for 9.2 that are 64 bit. I have seen the DVD images, but unfortunately, I do not have a DVD Burner/Drive. I've seen a deal where you can buy the 5 CD set...is this 64 bit? It did not say.

Thanks!

I believe the 5 CD-ROM set is 32bit only. I have been purchasing Suse Professional since 9.0 and the 64bit version was always on the DVD.

If I insert CD-ROM #1 into my 64bit machine and boot it states "Nice computer but you are about to install 32bit software on a 64bit machine" or something like that...

you can do ftp install of 64-bit
get SUSE-Linux-9.2-mini-installation.iso
from here:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/current/iso/

then install 64-bit suse, it is actually more convenient than free DVD because you will have access to full software selection during instalation process.

It works nicely installation time depends on software selection you will make and connection speed. In my case it took ~3 hr (to final reboot).
