openSUSE-11.1-NET-ppc.iso failing

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

I don’t have access to a dvd burner so I have to use this, but I can’t get it to work.

I had similar frustrations when I did a 11.0 install this way, but eventually I got it.

This one is proving to be more difficult. I’m already frustrated. I could use some help.

I either get *** No repository found (which can be browsed in my web browser)

Or
Reading driver update
No new driver updates found

execvp: No such file or directory.

I’ve tried download.opensuse.org , opensuse.unixheads.org, and powerpc.opensuse.org to no avail.

Fedora has a similar installer, but it’s all animated. Why is this so unintuitive?

Forget that! Please just tell me how to get this working.

Thank you for that tip!

I just got 11.1 up and running on a net-install on my G5 iMac. So far so good… Even though I have 1.5gb of ram, I decided to go for the minimal X install and I’m really pleased. I even tried it via the textmode=1 option, and was blow away at how nice the ncurses installer was, even though I could have used the graphical installer.

Thanks again…
