- Once the menu actually appears, I get an option whether I want to install
from CD, FTP or HardDisk. I select HardDisk and then select the partition on
which my SUSE DVD iso image is stored. When it asks me for the directory
name I've tried a few different combinations; the root directory, the name
of iso image, etc but nothing seems to work.

This is the point where I need help. I cannot seem to actually select the
iso image as the source for the installation source. Do I need to use a
different root/boot image or do I need to load special drivers during the
installation process? When I've done this with the other Linux distros, I've
not had any problems.

I would really appreciate some help here. Many Thanks in advance.

That is because you have the ISO file. You have to have it either
mounted, or copy the files in the ISO to some place that can be read.

The easiest is just to dowbnload the FTP version and do the instalation
via FTP completely.

Hi,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I have installed other linux distros directly from the iso image, with
their installation system being able to recognise the ISO image.
Just so that I understand you correctly, are you saying that SUSE can
not be installed directly from the ISO image file?
