problem installing suse 10.1

[noviceforever82]

Hi,
I have an old desktop with 12.5 GB, 256 MB RAM running windows 2000.
I resized windows so that it fits in 7.4 GB and so have >4 GB free to load Linux.
The installation goes as expected until a point where it asks me to load CD 1 (though that is the one already in the CD-ROM). I however, eject and push it back. Then the packages seem to be installing (for quite sometime of 20-30 mins) and all of a sudden, the system reboots. Is there something I am missing?
It doesn't come to a point where it asks for the second CD. Please help.

Thanks.

on reboot, select SuSe from GRUB list, installation will continue.
installer will ask for second CD.

HI Casper,
Thanks a lot, but i seem to have run into a BIG problem. Well, previously it would not complete the installation and would reboot. So though I choose "Suse" on reboot, it asked me for login and pwd which obv i didnt setup. So i started reinstalling Suse again with no luck. Tried it a couple of times and now since the computer hangs, i shut down and start the machine and i get a "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" message. What do i do?
Previously when i booted, i GRUB gave me options to boot from. The current error persists though i tried to reboot a few more times.
Pls help.

UPDATE. I turned of the machine for a while and then started again and now its reading form the CD-ROM. I will try to reinstall Suse again. Couldn't get to setup my login and pwd in all the prev attempts. This time around, the Linux kernel is taking a longgg time to load.
Will let you know how this attempt goes!

Ok turns out my distro CD was the source of the problem. I got a Suse linux enterprise desktop dvd and installed off it and had no prob.
