Hi,

Current_System: I've Winxp on my master HD and will install Suse onto a
Slave HD

Burned iso image of "SUSE-Linux-10.2-mini-installation", booted from
cd, it reads hardware stuff, asks me where to boot from (i ans: Cd),
but then it says "Make sure Cd1 is in the drive" and once I hit
okay....error: "Can't mount the image". NO CLUE WHY WON'T IT READ THE
DAM THING.

Once, its about to exit...it says "md: switched to read only "...what
does it mean???

Also, when exatcly does it ask me the drive on which to install the
Suse caz. i don't wanna end up writing over the current C:/winXP.

Thanx.

Is your ISO image properly downloaded? Your may do a MD5 checksum.

ISO image requires a different step of burning process. If you are using
NERO, choose Recorder -> Burn Image, instead of a normal burning process.

Hope this helps.

I fig. it out (after ganging my head 100 times) just right b4 i read
your email; however, no it says that it can't detect my Network Card.
I've Linksys(LNE100TX)
and there is no module for it in the Suse OS either. Now i'm trying to
find out on how to over come this hurdle so any
hint/suggestion/solution would be greaaatlyy appreciated.......going
back to my never ending journey.....

Thanx. a Bunch.
