If you have to wait for at least 2 months, use 10.1 ;-) > * I have at hand a very pretty little box with 9.1 running. > It's an Acer Travelmate 312D > > 12Gb hard drive, but only 48Mo ram. The hard drive is OK, but you should try to get more RAM into it. Really. > http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_without_CD > > is _very_ confusing Maybe it's because it describes multiple methods for installation - but splitting up into several pages would need to duplicate some of the common notes.

There should be a script to create boot floppies on CD1/DVD/FTP - but don't ask me for details. > - copy install on the hard drive.

BTW: If you want a remote source, but see the installation local, remove the "usessh=1 sshpassword=..." parameters. > may I copy an iso image or the raw disk content? (just a > clue is enough, I will manage the details) If you "mount -o loop" them manually, yes. You should use mount points /somewhere/CD1/ ... /somewhere/CD5/ and point YaST to /somewhere/CD1/. However, you still need the boot loader entry and have to copy the boot files out of the isos.
