Installing Suse 10.2 using only 3 of the cds

[dc_jt]

HI

I am new to linux and my friend gave me 5 cds to install suse 10.2, however I have just installed it and its running fine, however I only used 3 of the 5 cds.

Have I installed it incorrectly or am I missing something because I havent used cd 4 and 5?

Hope someone can help

Thanks

hi dc_jt !

Welcome to the LinuxForums.

CD usage depends on the number of packages you have selected during installation. explore SuSe and check if you are missing anything. all neccesssary packages are already installed.
check this link.

Thanks for the reply

So everything I need is installed now, however if I want to install more features which I no doubt will, then I need to follow the link you gave me?

So what is actually on cd 4 and 5? And does this mean I wont have whats on them?

Thanks

yes. you have to download and install a few packages like mp3 and DVD codecs.

developement toola and a few Desktop Environments. you dont need those right now. firstly explore SuSe a bit.

OK thanks a lot.

So when I do want to install whats on cd 4 and 5, do I just pop cd 4 in on bootup or what?

How do i actually install just them 2?

No. package installation is handled by YAST. it will ask for CD4 or 5 if you select the packages available in those CDs.

How do i actually install just them 2?

look for YAST in Menu.
