[ale] Suse download question (Danger - Newbie)

[Dow Hurst]

Steve,
There is a directory on the first CD that contains images of boot
disks.  You need to use rawrite to copy these to floppies.  The
subdirectories like a1, x11, dev, can be written as individual CDs.  All
this is pretty much the same between distros.  Once you have made a
bootable floppy and modules floppy, you can boot with them.  Then you
can follow the onscreen instructions to install from either your on disk
software tree or from the CDs you have burned.  Note the dot files in
the CD directories, I seem to remember there is .suse file or something
that describes what is in the directory.
