Suse 9.2 Installation Question
Ok, I've decided to give *nix another crack at, and since Suse 9.2 just came out, I figured why not give it a go?. So, anyways, I just downloaded it. Only problem is it's a 4.3gb ISO, and I don't have a dvd burner. So I got to thinking, and figured since it has an "ftp installation option?" maybe I could set the url to my HD. So I came up with an idea, set the url to my download directory (I was reading through the Suse 9.2 Administrator's guide and saw a little exert on the ftp installation which says "Specifies the installation source as a url. Possible protocols include cd, hd, nfs, smb, ftp, http and tftp")
So, my question is could I install Suse using their FTP Installation Option, buying using my Downloaded file [On an NTFS partition (XP PRO)]. Or would it not be able to cross reference the two drive types?
Or..Could I just split the ISO into 6 parts and burn them? Maybe even also the boot loader? Maybe I have no clue what I'm talking about?
Either way, if anyone has any tips/answers I'd appreciate them. Also, I'm pretty sure this is the Pro version of Suse. If that matters for options wise.
