If I wanted to install locally ( from > another machine with a cd and plenty of HD) how would I set that up? Just to add to Nathan's email. network installs give you a choice of either ftp or nsf. When I installed SuSE 8.1 on my desktop system, rather than sit there with a bunch of CDs, I put the DVD in my laptop, exported the dvd (/media/dvd) via nfs and performed the install that way. We've done network installs at out installfests for the same reason. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
