SuSE 8.0 professional inst prob by diGriz 2002-07-01 12:06:49
I've got a problem installing the new SuSE 8.0 professional on my f*** PC:

1) there's no boot disk (as described in the manual)
2) the CD-ROM has a boot image, but doesn't boot (as configured in SCSI controller)
3) there is not SETUP.EXE on any of the CDs (as described in the manual)
4) I'm able to create a boot disk with RAWRITE, but the kernel image is bad (error msg: "error reading kernel" or something like that)

Has anyone got an idea what to do? I've got no special hardware (3 EIDE HDDs, 1 SCSI CD-ROM, 1 CD-R writer etc.)

TIA
