Hello, it here a package or some other way to have an install option in preboot menu, so I won’t have to go to desktop of the live cd to install my distibution?
Thanks for any help or suggestion
There should be one. on the first menu. You do not need to tun the live desktop to install. In fact if you have low memory it is not the recommended way

Well, the DVD does not have a live desktop.

You can get the Network image, which is only an installer. It has the bare minimum to run the installer and then depending on what you choose to isntal it downloads the (up-to-date) package at that time.
Usually, though, when I run a LiveCD it comes up with a menu of choices such as “Run openSUSE KDE”, “Boot from first Hard Disk”, etc. and I thought there was an “Install” option there. I may be thinking of some other distribution, though.

No, that option is on every distributed Live CD.
Yea i thought it would be there also, but I just don’t have it and i don’t know why, so can some one please tell me what to do to get install option?
Sounds like DVD or Netinstall may be required.
I know CentOS, for a while at least, had a LiveCD that didn’t include an Install option.
I was just thinking, I have an 11.4 openSUSE DVD that includes a Live Gnome and a Live KDE option (as well as instal) for 32-bit systems on one side, and 64-bit systems on the other.
So you are saying that the Live Gnome/KDE versions are not included in the base DVD image like I would get from software.opensuse.org: Download openSUSE 12.1 ? I wonder if I can get any more of those promotions then, because those DVDs were great!
No the official DVD is not “LIVE” You can only use it to install but you can chose KDE or Gnome or both. The KDE/Gnome CDs are both Live and can do an install of the basic KDE/Gnome desktops respectively. The Official CD’s also have an install option in the first pre boot menu.
So can anybody please tell me how to get install into preboot menu of live cd/dvd created in susestudio?
So this is a LiveCD/DVD from Suse Studio?
Why not have it build an install version? I think they are called “Preload ISO(.iso)” or “USB stick / hard disk image” in the Build step. I don’t now if the LiveCD/DVD comes with the option you are looking for. I thought you were talking about the images from software.opensuse.org: Download openSUSE 12.1
Preload ISO just drops whole system on your hard disk, deleting everythong that was on before and USB stick/hard disk image is almost the same as livecd, but for usb, I haven’t found any other difference yet.
Since you are talking about a Studio built CD I don’t know why not ask on the Studio section of this board.

Coolo, the openSUSE release manager, told me that “This entry [install] is added
by my profiling process, you don’t have it if you build your own.” The Live CD
in my case was built locally using osc, but I think the answer would be valid
for something built with opensUSE Studio.
May I ask what is osc?
