Yeah, the dvd copy I received in the mag has the same problem.
Tried to install it as soon as I got home, it bombed out,,,, no list of packages. Wasted two blank DVD's trying to get it to work.

Most dissapointing.

You are not on "the same page"

I fink AlphA wanted to convert the CD ISO's to a DVD.

You should copy the ISO from the PCF DVD to your hard drive and open Nero and 'Burn the Image To Disk' <- thats wot worked for me

edit: oh and what "list of packages" are you looking for?

I am talking about the DVD that came with PCF. I copied the ISO to my hard drive, and then wrote it to a blank DVD.

Installation went fine until reading packages,,,, then failed with error "no package list"

I assume the package list is missing from the ISO distribution.

Needless to say, the installation could not continue.

Of course.

Yes. No problems.

No. Just showed me a blank page.

Heh heh, thanks for the offer, but I should be able to get a copy in JHB.

I am getting it sent to me from a VERY kind friend in Australia. If anyone wants it when I have it, let me know.

I am gonna make a DVD version of the 5-CD version I have.

I could mail you a copy if you like. Let me know.

It was on a PCF cover disk,
also 10.1 in DVD iso format

Thanks Iceblade...

It was quite a while back, but I did manage to make a DVD out of the 5 CD ISO's

Just installed Suse 10.1 and Vista on the following setup:
AMD Athlon 2800 XP
1 GIG RAM
Of which Vista is fine buuut I'm having a few issues with Suse (Ironic I know).
After it says loading grub and the initial loading screen it just goes black and nothing happens.
Any ideas?

I think there might be a problem with the formatting.
I want EXT2/3 but Suse has chosen it's default formatting and that's going to take a bit of adjustments.

I heart Suse though.

I also had problems with the SUSE GRUB boot loader, I resorted to using the Ubuntu one, which is Non Graphical. Everything works fine from then on

Is your PC just freezing after it shows the boot loader?

Post by **Ron2K** » 27 Dec 2007, 15:37

The last time I used SuSE (10.3), I too experienced graphical boot loader issues, yet when it eventually got around to the OS itself, it was fine. I simply tweaked the boot loader to use VGA mode, and all was well.

I didn't memorise those tweaks though, and the box that I installed SuSE on is no longer in my posession. I can tell you that I did copy the parameters from one of the other boot options though.
