I installed 10.1 via the internet. Small cd, and surprisingly it was rather quick on a 800mhz system with 256mb of ram.
I've recently been trying to install openSuSe 10.1 on my desktop, which I have installed several times before, but for some reason, when it gets to the actual install phase, it always chokes. It gives me a message saying that a package (different package every time) can't be found on the medium (DVD). If I click retry, YaST then crashes, and it fails. I've already verified that the DVD is fine. I've installed it on another system, written the iso from a different DVD writer, etc. I already know that it's not the IDE cable that's bad, and I don't think the power is the problem either. I've also switched out the RAM to make sure it wasn't failing because of bad RAM. It had no operating system at all until my dad decided to restore Windows from an image just to get SOMETHING on there. Somehow, I get the feeling that Windows wouldn't install from a CD either. Oh yeah, we also tried installing it from the 5 CDs. Right now the computer is sitting on it's side, laid naked on the desk next to me and I'm sitting here rather angry, using my sister's computer.
