Greetings:
I am having a hard time installing suse on my newly built pc. I had =
sucessfully installed it many times before on my old pc.
I have the boxed version of suse 8.1 professional. I load up via cd. =
It shows me various options to installing. I choose the top one =
(installation) which I have done in the past. Then it loads kernel. =
Screens pop up asking what language and type of keyboard. I hit enter =
on both occassions. Then, and this is where installation halts, a =
message pops up asking me to be sure that cd 1 is installed. I press =
enter for ok. Then a red box pops up and states that cd rom can not be =
mounted.
I tried to go manual installation but same error. I have tried =
alternative installation disk 2 but same results.
I have a P4 800mhz processor with 1GB memory and an intel motherboard. =
Thinking it might be my cd rom I changed it with my other one that was =
used to install suse before but same results.
All cds are good/ not damaged. Googling just made me waste time.
If someone can give me insight and direction I would be very grateful.
Jim George
