Since SuSE 9.3 Pro is available for free download is that the version I should get or does anyone recommend something like Lorma or aLinux. I currently have 9.1 Pesonal (SuSE). I'd like some help.

Fade_to_Blah 10-18-2005, 08:34 PM If your happy with suse stick with it, I always thought Suse was a solid distro Ad 10-18-2005, 08:34 PM Nodsu 10-19-2005, 04:06 AM You can get SuSE 10 for free too. The "eval" version is full-featured and you can use it as long as you want. smitty90 10-20-2005, 08:57 PM I downloaded the 9.3 PRO iso images for the 5 CDs but when I inserted the 1st CD it wouldn't boot. I have 9.1 Personal now, could that be the problem because all that happens is 9.1 boots normally and I don't get an Install option on the splash screen. I downloaded the images off Novells website so they have to be crrect and it was over a secure T1 connection. PLEASE HELP because I want to put a simple OS on for my mom since the WINBLOWS XP that I have is 32-bit and the computer I built for her is 64-bit and it just won't install. Nodsu 10-21-2005, 02:57 AM Verify the images against the checksums on the Novell site. Big files getting corrupt during FTP transfers is common. Also, are you sure you burned the iso files correctly? Fade_to_Blah 10-21-2005, 09:08 AM Do you have the BIOS set to boot from CDROM? Is the boot order correct? Depending on the BIOS you can hit esc or other keys to choose the boot device... smitty90 10-21-2005, 01:20 PM Yes its set on CD first HD second then CD 3rd since there's nothing else besides those two. It wasn't downloaded FTP but HTTP. I'll ESC and see if that does anything and I'll get abck tonight. Fade_to_Blah 10-21-2005, 01:23 PM The images are probably screwed up like Notsu said then....... Check them on another machine if you can Ad 10-21-2005, 01:23 PM smitty90 10-21-2005, 01:25 PM I may try to set up a second partition on my laptop with it. We'll see smitty90 10-21-2005, 05:51 PM By the way I have an ABIT NFS-8 Motherboard (NFS or NFV) and a AMD Sempron 64 2800+. Could there be a hardware problem if its not the cds? smitty90 10-21-2005, 11:15 PM I burned the iso's wrong. Its now installed but I can't get passed the login screen. I selected Gnome, and it never asked me to set up an administrator account wich I thought was odd. Help!!!!!!! Nodsu 10-22-2005, 04:48 AM It asked you to specify the root password. Try with username "root" and blank password in case you skipped over that part too fast. |
