Hi Tormod, OpenSuse has an ftp install option. I never tried that option, but here is the docu http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_without_CD
I'm not having bug #71040 problems. Hmmm that reboot and then enter grub command mode and enter halt, then turn off I must try. thanks for testing. I will test opensuse again and have a look on what hard disk driver gets loaded. Thanks, More -- bad hard disk noise on shutdown https://launchpad.net/bugs/67810 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
