[XWRed1]

www.suse.com?

www.linuxiso.org?

Maybe... here (http://www.linuxiso.org/suse.html)..

[touser]

thank you xwred1 but i have searched all those sites and none of them have any iso images of suse 7.2 :( the live eval copies only run off the cd and do not install :(

[sfa ok]

You need to do a FTP install using boot disks or buy it.

[touser]

thank you sfa ok! do you know where i can obtane these boot disks?

[sfa ok]

They're on the same FTP server as the live eval. iso. It might not have drivers for your nic, it didn't for mine (Netgear FA311)

[touser]

hrmm oh well i have that same nic...i did download madrakes iso however but i cannot get it to work! when i try to burn it to a cd in nero it says
"the entered block size does not correspond to the image length. the block size may be wrong. do you want to correct the value or ignore the problem?" do you know what to do i burned it withought correcting and it wont boot to it :(

bad iso...
you need to redownload it.

[touser]

damn! because it gave me the same thing for the redhat 7.2 iso i dloaded too :(

[tbirdkiri]

maybe its not the iso...
how did you download em?
i say use a download manager,
they are less likely to have errors.

[touser]

hrmm well i just downloaded them from herbie.ucs.indiana.edu ftp using flashfxp which is an ftp client

[tbirdkiri]

hrm......
i usedd download accelerator....
it'll find a better server to download from...

Have you tried using easy cd creator to burn the ISOs? mabye theres a problem with nero... :rolleyes:

I bought SuSE 7.3, and I really like it. You would be as well buying a distro, and the SUSE 7.3 pro w/out manuals (the UPDATE) is £35UK. You get 7CDS and a DVD.

[sfa ok]

I also bought Suse 7.3. To see if it's a bad download, you need to do a MD5 checksum. See here:

[touser]

thanks guys..well i just went out and bought suse 7.3 pro with all the manuals boy is there alot of stuff! only $60 at fry's too!

[XWRed1]

Thats probably the better thing to do anyhow.

You know, you're helping to support the company and the community so they can keep doing cool stuff.

penguinfreak, sfa ok, or touser. Does SuSE 7.2 install the 2.4.x kernel by default? I'd sure like to know, thanks!
