I want to download SuSE 9.2 but I have a bit of a problem. Theres no way I can connect to an FTP through linux due to wusb11 problems, so I would have to drag my PC down to the computer room where my router sits in order to get to the installation FTP. Is there any way I can copy the installation directory from the FTP to my HD and have suse install from it? Also, since I dont have a DVD-ROM, can I run the DVD image in windows to install to a second HD?

Installing SuSE without FTP
- Thread starter Alowishus

well, if it is at all like redhat you can d/l the iso then mount -o loop disc.iso /somedir and then export the mount point via NFS. You'll still have to use a boot.iso or something to kick off the installation unless you PIIX boot from the network... my $0.02
Could you contribute a dollar? Im not quite sure I understand what your saying . 
Sorry, im pretty much a linux noob. What I would realy like to know is if "SUSE-Linux-9.2-FTP-DVD.iso" is the full install, and does not require me to connect to the internet.

I say almost because I don't think the FTP version has everything that the packaged box does, but it's enough to do a complete install from without an Internet connection. Though if you don't have a Internet connection; you won't be able to grab all of the updates for SuSE.
