From memory I think the net iso has the option to use a local harddisk

another for the dvd iso should work.

The Acer Aspire One comes with WXP installed and I want to switch to Linux before I start to use it.
The easiest way to me seems to be not to have to prepare and make the USB-stick bootable.
Instead just run an .exe program from within XP. (as U can do with a DVD also if XP is working but U cant get the PC to boot from DVD)
So I liked the idea of install the installer (openSUSE11_0_LOCAL.exe) via usb-stick and then just have a copy of the DVD-iso in place when rebooting via the installer.
Rebooting is working fine, and the install menu comes up where i can choose location for the .iso file, + its full path and then reading the .iso also seems to work, it comes 3 messages of successful reading of 3 parts, but then some adress conflict which stops the installation.
Its probably a simple thing, but its really beyond my skills..
