[Gloucs] ** Next Meeting 17th December **

[Jill Tovey]

I have the 8.1 disks, but currently no access to a CD-RW,

If you are able to post the disks back to me after you have copied them, you
are more than welcome to borrow them.

Some time around Monday 16 December 2002 20:33, Paul Broadhead slipped on a
keyboard and came up with:

ISO's are not available, and we don't have (yet) 8.1 disks.  I do have 8.0s
if
that will do, but I won't be there tonight.  Perhaps Guy will pick them up
on
the way, but you'd best ask him in that case.

However, you or your friend should be able do do an FTP install by
downloading
the floppy diskette images from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/8.1/boot/
and writing them to disk... use dd if in linux or rawrite in dos/windows.

Read the README files first and you should be OK.
