SuSE 9.0 personal ftp installation

<< < (2/3) > >>

Commander:
the old comp has about 9.5 gigs on it.  and the xp installation took up a lot.  i didnt have enough space for the 7.2 gig linux ftp directory that i downloaded to go on that computer.  that;s why the ftp lookedlike the best option.

and the suse installation took about 1.3 gig.  plenty of space left in there!!

9.5 gigs isn't small (I did a SuSE FTP-installation on a 2 gig partition).
As far as I know u only need 400MB (2gig recommended).
U don't have to download everything...

Commander:
tru but i wanted to do a faster insatallation.  i freed 16 gig for suse so i downloaded the whole thing.  maybe i will consider a internet installtion when i updrade suse.

How long did it take you to download all the files? I would like to put suse on beside slack but cant afford the cds right now. Also what files do i need to download?

Commander:
took me a while actually, about 12-14 hours.  would've taken longer but the download speed was VERY GOOD(330kbps for most of the time).  i downloaded from a boston mirror listed here.

the mirrors have folders like -----suse/i386/9.0/
i downloaded the 9.0 directory with filezilla.
made a boot disk, and did a harddrive install.  worked like a charm.
