bbsmitho Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I have just downloaded the complete openSUSE 10.3 Linux Box version the data for which needs two double layer DVDs which are very expensive in my area. I can afford the normal DVDs. The data is as follows: <LI class="folder last"> openSUSE10.3__32-Bit+64-Bit__(the box) <LI class=folder> openSUSE10.3__DVD-DL-1__32-Bit+64-Bit openSUSE-10_3-DVD1.part01.rar (683.59 megabyte) openSUSE-10_3-DVD1.part02.rar (683.59 megabyte) openSUSE-10_3-DVD1.part03.rar (683.59 megabyte) openSUSE-10_3-DVD1.part04.rar (683.59 megabyte) openSUSE-10_3-DVD1.part05.rar (683.59 megabyte) openSUSE-10_3-DVD1.part06.rar (683.59 megabyte) openSUSE-10_3-DVD1.part07.rar (683.59 megabyte) openSUSE-10_3-DVD1.part08.rar (683.59 megabyte) openSUSE-10_3-DVD1.part09.rar (683.59 megabyte) openSUSE-10_3-DVD1.part10.rar (77.76 megabyte) LIESMICH-openSUSE-10.3.txt (189 bytes) README-openSUSE-10.3.txt (177 bytes) openSUSE10.3__DVD-DL-2__32-Bit+64-Bit openSUSE-10_3-DVD2.part01.rar (683.59 megabyte) openSUSE-10_3-DVD2.part02.rar (683.59 megabyte) openSUSE-10_3-DVD2.part03.rar (683.59 megabyte) openSUSE-10_3-DVD2.part04.rar (683.59 megabyte) openSUSE-10_3-DVD2.part05.rar (683.59 megabyte) openSUSE-10_3-DVD2.part06.rar (683.59 megabyte) openSUSE-10_3-DVD2.part07.rar (683.59 megabyte) openSUSE-10_3-DVD2.part08.rar (683.59 megabyte) openSUSE-10_3-DVD2.part09.rar (683.59 megabyte) openSUSE-10_3-DVD2.part10.rar (180.92 megabyte) LIESMICH-openSUSE-10.3.txt (189 bytes) README-openSUSE-10.3.txt (177 bytes) Is there a way to burn this data on normal DVDs and be able to install the operating system? If so please inform me. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hi and welcome to the forum, bbsmitho! Usually there are even CD versions to download, isn't there another installation set you can download instead of the DVD DL one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 http://software.opensuse.org/ By the way, you can use WinRAR (or 7-Zip if prefer) to open the *.part01.rar file of each DVD archive set and see what's inside (probably an ISO image).

bbsmitho Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hi and welcome to the forum, bbsmitho! Usually there are even CD versions to download, isn't there another installation set you can download instead of the DVD DL one? http://software.opensuse.org/ By the way, you can use WinRAR (or 7-Zip if prefer) to open the *.part01.rar file of each DVD archive set and see what's inside (probably an ISO image). I have seen the CD versions and DVD version downloads at opensuse website but they need to remain online for a long time to install the full operating system and take much of the time. The reason you have to remain online for long time is that the CD or DVD does not contain the complete OS. The two dual layer DVD I posted above is a custom made complete OS containing all the drivers, OSS, Non OSS and all the other things for which you have to remain online for so long time. I wish to create a multiple DVD set of this complete OS for me for the comfort of installing and unstalling whenever I want. I think its ISO images in the two Dual layer DVDs and I would have to create bootable ISO images for normal DVDs in terms of size in order to burn the OS on normal DVDs. So can you inform me how to do that. I would remain thankful to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbsmitho Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 Write mode = ISO write mode. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=61 I have read your link but what if the image is 6 GB? I would not fit on a normal DVD. It would require a dual layer DVD. How can I reduce the image size to match the size of a normal DVD and create bootable DVDs in order to install the operating system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 You'll have to ask the openSUSE people about that, as you want to modify their installation method Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
