Swimmer Posted March 21, 2007 CID Share Posted March 21, 2007 Dont use SuSE 10.1.. The updater is broken and it doesnt have the latest GUI which is a lot better! Here is a guide to dual boot 10.1 but it should be exactly the same as 10.2.. http://kimharding.net/dual_boot/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You done need to be a member.. http://en.opensuse.org/Released_Version#Downloads that should allow you to download the CD ISO.. I would highly recommend Bit torrent and the ISO files are very well seeded.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
