When Linuxrc asks me to enter the hard disk partition, I do not know what should go in here. What did you enter there?

I presume the source directory is "/boot"

Can you post exactly what you entered to get openSUSE to install please?

Sorry it was some days ago now, Im reading my own posts here and cant fully remember anyway...
U are using UNetbootin ?
Its a program U install first if U have windows already on the machine.
linuxrc?
Dont remember this...?
What I remember is:
When it asks for disk and directory for source, U should write the full path to it like: /dev/sdb1/suse.iso ,were "suse.iso" is the filename U have given the SUSE DVD .iso file U want to use.

If U put the .iso in /boot on a USB stick, the path would be:
/dev/sdb1/boot/suse.iso

((sdb1 (sdb2, sdb3) is for partition on USB connected disk/stick and sda1 sda2 or sda3 etc would be a partition on any harddrive via SATA or IDE connection as I understood it)

Hope this helps...
