Default Re: Opensuse 11 on a Netbook...anybody?

Now we are talking!
I also have the redmond bug started.

I also had the idea that it should be possible to copy the content from the SUSE DVD over to a USB-stick and use it as a harddrive. (Just like it is with a DVD on a computer with DVD-drive installed)
I ran the installer, (openSUSE11_0_LOCAL.exe) and the Aspire installed in windows and restarted.
Came in to main menu and choosed language and keymap.
But then I got stuck again..
I picked "start installation or update", and then were to choose source medium.
I know its on the USB so I choose "hard disk"
I also know its the vfat, 7.5 Gb named sdb1
Then, "enter the source directory"...
Well, isnt that the usb?
Tried /, /boot/i386 , and some other ideas but none worked.
Why is this?
I dont have a working network yet, so I want to use the repositories on the downloaded DVD, is that too much to ask...
Are there any way to use the data on the usb now?
Or do I really have to get internet working for a network installation?
