How about to burn it on a CDR?
The boot.iso of suse 9.3 i downloaded , i burned it on a CDR, and boot from it, choose first choice of boot from disk, it just boot the grub bootloader of my HDD and eneter suse bootloader.
I am afraid that if I remove suse 10.0 bootloader by fdisk /mbr, it won't be able to do that.
Netinstall boot.iso should prompt you to bot from HD. Doesn't it?. You have to choose the proper options. See these F1-F4 buttons. Whatever they offer. I can even boot from FTP if I select correct FTP server and directory on server
My CDRW and DVDRW do not mount in suse 10.0,
they are supposed to be /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd, nut when i mount, the system does not recognise, what can i do?
i put the CD and DVD into the rom, reboot and suse can auto-detect now.
another problem,
when i installed suse, i did not choose Gnome, after that i use YaST to install all Gnome files, but in the boot session, no Gnome to choose, why?
I did install Gnome Desktop from YaST, I just check the entire section and I have Gnome, be sure to have all the packages installed.
But as it was mentioned before, SuSE does not go well with Gnome, i don't know why, but I have some weird problems, yesterday when I was in YaST suddenly the lower menu disappeared, this morning my mouse disappeared, and I had to do Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and then switch to KDE. Gnome and SuSE not a good combination, although I like the default theme style, it's just too buggy..
