tyme Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 the ISO's need to be remade, again ;) the original way mystified made them did not account for long file names (with extra periods and the such). if she does the other cd's again like she did the first one this problem should be solved. mkisofs needs to be sent specific options so as to create files exactly with their original names including any extended names or extra periods inside the file name. just use dd like you did to remake the first one and all should be well.

mystified Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Darnn it! Well I'll remake them and upload again! I'm going to delete the ones on the server now so any up there will be new.

grendal Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 I have yet another question: what is Suse sparc? I saw the iso's for this @ linuxiso.org, it's the 8.2 release, but I have no idea what sparc is? It's five discs what ever it is. Anyways, I too installed only from disc 1, system runs fine, although I have no office software. I do have openoffice downloaded somewhere, so I can get around the disc 2 problem (soemwhat). Anyways, where are those knew iso's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 sparc is a type of architecture made by Sun Microsystems. unless you have a Sun system, you don't want it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendal Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 I was on the right track then, I didn't think it was for me, but I just didn't know what is was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Anyways, where are those knew iso's The second one is up. I had started uploading last night but something happened during the night and the upload got interrupted. So I uploaded again this morning and it's on the mirror now. I'm doing the third cd at the moment. When I did my SuSE install I only used the 1st and 2nd ones. Haven't needed anything off the others yet but I'll get all 5 on the server in case anyone wants them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 in the short period of time I ran suse I did need all 5 cds's for installing stuff but I installed a lot of stuff. B) It's a fun and enjoyable distro....not for me, I already have one of those (mandrake).....i need stuff to fix and tinker with which is why I installed gentoo ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendal Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Yeah, but you know what your'e doing. I for one don't, I'll be honest. Yeah I want all five discs, and I'll take the DVD's too :D ( I know- they contain the same stuff) . Thanks again, I now have disc two and will burn shortly Off topic here, but this just place rocks. I just got a iomega zip drive at the house, mandy and suse saw it fine, I coulld mount, copy /paste, etc. Windows XP however, freaked out, so I did a google search, what I found was a bunch of Jerks telling people it was them or their pc, how that never happens, before someone actualy had something to add that helped. It looks like you need to install the drives BEFORE you install the drive (cart before the horse comes to mind) but I'll work on that tonight.

Peep Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 thanks! :P SuSE didn't find my cdrom after the initial stage of the install, so i had to then switch to an FTP install. the YaST installer seems nice so far, although it about gave me a heart attack when i thought it had already formatted my partitions into one giant partition. i've backed things up, but that still wouldn't have been ideal. hopefully everything will be up and running soon. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarissi Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 well, the cds from 12penguins.com (linuxrocks100 on eBay), work just fine, without trashing my mandrake, windows, or System Commander. I wound up installing from all 5 cds. If i read the online update right, i installed Apache, which i don't need. Well, this is a first time install of Suse for me. It was painless enough, though the partitioning part nearly gave me another heart attack (had major heart attack in November 2001 and bypass surgery). I did the manual (sort of), and the sizing part is strange, cause i am used to thinking in megabytes, instead of sectors. I think I will be doing another install of Suse 9.0 Pro. This time i will use Mandrake install to redo the Suse partitions to my tastes, without actually installing mandrake again. Need separate /home. Online update worked (never had luck with Mandrake's at install time). I'm in Suse now and need to reboot into mandy to update some things. I can see why Suse is so popular.

bvc Posted January 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 on updates? If you use reiserfs get the updates ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peep Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 ah well, never got it to find any of my network cards (integrated ethernet, orinoco mini-pci wireless, or cisco wireless card), which is odd since i installed over ftp. but the desktop was pretty. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polemicz Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 I just burned the cds. I dl'd cd1 on 1/8 so I thought I had the fixed version, but it will not boot. Are there md5sums I can check for these, current, isos? Or is cd1 still not right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
