SuSE Install Help

[The Analog Kid]

For some reason, I can't get SuSE to install, I enter the info for the FTP and it says File Not Found on Server or something to that effect, I looked at the Installation Guide and the Install Howto. I tried SuSE's FTP server as well as two different mirrors that were Complete(listed complete on mirror list). All had the same error. Can someone give me a howto with a FTP server to use and the correct paths. I want to install it but it blowing my brains out trying to install it. BTW, I'm booting the installation from a CD.

It sounds like the ftp address isnt being typed in correctly. I think I had this problem when I was installing SuSE via FTP but I mistyped one of the letters.... are you manually typing in the server?

[The Analog Kid]

Yes, I am have to do a manual install since I don't have Disk 1. I've tried 3 different FTP Servers, I don't think I typed all 3 wrong. It connected all the servers correct, so its a directory problem.

Are you sure you went down into the i386 folder?

[The Analog Kid]

Yes, I did here are the three I used

IP 152.2.210.121
/pub/suse/i386/current

IP 130. 207.108.134
/pub/linux/distrobutions/suse/suse/i386/8.1

IP 216.254.0.38
/linux/SuSE-Linux/i386/current

I'm getting tired I was up at 3:00A.M. so I'm going to bed I will check it in the moring.

Try this:

ftp://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/distributions/suse/suse/i386/8.1/boot/

If that doesnt work, try the dir right above it. I think I remember putting in /boot/ as part of the ftp install...

Hope that helps!

[The Analog Kid]

Still doesn't work, I've never had a problem like this. WHAT IS WRONG!!!

[Mandarb1]

Did you try that directory and the one above it?

[The Analog Kid]

I got it to work after I found out the right IP addresses.

[Mandarb1]

Excellent. :)

Though I have one more problem, I can't get into X because the Vert Refresh is too high, how do I fix it? I tried sax2 but it goes into X and the Vert Refresh is over the frequency. Do I let it sit there and will it do something eventually?

[Mandarb1]

You can change the vert frequencies by going through YaST2 and in the monitor section. Sorry I cant provide detailed areas because im in Windows right now and I wont be back for a few months... :(
