+s55 Subscriber¹ Posted April 4, 2004 Subscriber¹ Share Posted April 4, 2004 On a rampage to get a good distro of linux my next stop after mandrake 10 is suse 9 question is - is there anywhere where i can get ISO images of cd's instead of just download couple thousand files seperatly? all the mirrors i've looked at dont have them? jus thousands of single files *doesnt like the idea of tryin to sort out tons of files onto cds* Thanks Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+s55 Subscriber¹ Posted April 4, 2004 Author Subscriber¹ Share Posted April 4, 2004 Ok it appears there are none? Take it the best way is to buy a copy? last time i checked it wasnt expensive? The iso live eval runs reasonablly well but wud i be better waiting til 9.1 comes out or will 9.0 be updateable to 9.1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwolfe Veteran Posted April 5, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 5, 2004 You can wget from one of the mirrors and have a complete copy you can have on a server and export it out to install it locally. Still not the ".iso" thing, but SuSE doesn't do their downloads that way. They prefer people to download from the mirrors. That is the one thing that has held me up from trying SuSE (though I did download the LiveCD). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
