Open suse 11.2 Installation from Hard drive Step by Step
I am a linux maniac and two days ago I downloaded open suse 11.2 dvd from on of themirrors.Now I was desperate to try out the brand new suse but when i checked my dvd packit had no empty dvds in it...I felt very bad..I learnt that all new opensuse dvds arebuilt as hybrid iso's and they can booted from even from pendrives.But i had only a4 GB dvd and the iso was around 4.3 GB..unfortunately i dont have another grub installed in my system
Now i found a solution for this.If this doesnt work please dont blame me dear friends.Thisworked fine for me.Before starting make sure your computer supports booting from usb.You are wasting your time in this method if it doesnt support
1) Extract the entire contents to a local directory say C:
2) Download a tool called unetbootin.or the software just do googling
3) Now open it and in the choose the custom. In that in the column of kernel give the path & of the file name called linux(just do a search in the directory you extracted from iso).Inthe initrd field give name and path of file called initrd located in same directory as that oflinux.
4)Now choose your pendrive in the list below and click ok.
5)Now restart your system.Make sure Ist boot device is thumb drive.
6)The installation starts.Now choose the option installation from harddisk.Choose the harddisk in which you extracted the files.Give the absolute pathname.
Installation starts.Happy journey :D
