SUSE Linux next version is about to be released and my broadband allocation has plenty left to do this - but the SUSE release occurs just after the broadband expiration. So I will have to wait, with a large balance, until tomorrow - baah
Or get an ISP that provides an unmetered mirror? $ rsync mirror.internode.on.net:: | grep -i suse opensuse OpenSuse Or download the equivalent of Debian's mini.iso (~20MB) then only download the packages you actually use, rather than gigabytes of DVD? (To be fair, last time I looked the closest equivalent to mini.iso that CentOS had was about 200MB of ext2, and I guess SUSE is the same.) At a glance, the magic appears to be in here (320MB total): mirror.internode.on.net::opensuse/distribution/openSUSE-current/repo/oss/boot/x86_64/ Doesn't look like they prepare turnkey mini.isos, though :-/ And it looks like they use YaST2, not anaconda, so I can't help much. I got this far before losing interest; you'll probably need to consult the docs. qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel loader/linux \ -initrd loader/initrd \ -append 'splash=silent showopts edd=off'
