try using burncd(i believe it's part of LINUX) to burn the install ISO. I don't think you can install FreeBSD from under suse. Just run man burncd to get all instructions. You can also make boot floppies and install via FTP. It takes longer, but may be best for you if BurnCD doesn't work. ----- Original Message ----- From: "nick" <lhadak@supanet.com> To: <questions@FreeBSD.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 10:56 PM Subject: just a question about the installation of freeBSD from an existing linuxsystem > > > I don't know if you can help me, but sadly after having obtained a copy > of the freebsd cdrom, a cheap copy I must add, for I have some > constraints on my budget at the moment, I now wonder if it is possible > to install it from a directory in my suse linux 7.1 distribution. > I am unable to use my cd writer due to incompatibility problems, it > being an atapi device and emululation doesn't seem to work. > I am wondering if it is feasable to read from a linux partiton to copy > the files and basd system as one is told to do from dos. > > Any sugestions would be most appreciated. > > many thanks, > > Nick > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
