Help for linux install please

[legacy-f22man87]

This is my first post on here although I have been reading for quite awhile.

Here's my problem. I have the UT2k4 DVD version (special edition) and Suse 9.3. My disk is starting to go bad some files will no longer read correctly from just copying to the hard drive however installing to windows works fine. I want to be able to install it on Linux and when I do it it works for the first screen for the setup and the key enters correctly, but when it goes to the actuall install it says that I need to mount the UT2004 play cdrom and a yes or no option. no matter how many times I hit yes it doesn't work. I know this has come up and have seen some ways to fix it however I am still not up to par on Linux, yet, to be able to follow them. What do I need to do exactly. Please help.

I don't what you have tried already, but installing it this way should work:

1. Insert the UT2004 dvd
2. Open a console (aterm, xterm, konsole... whichever you prefer).
3. Become root (execute su and type your root password when prompted)
4. Mount your dvd if it's not mounted already. IIRC Suse mounts your dvd on /media/dvd, so you'll do mount /media/dvd
5. Browse to your dvd: cd /media/dvd
6. Type this: export SETUP_CDROM=/media/dvd
7. Execute the installation script: ./linux-installer.sh

Now it should install fine. The problem is (or seems to be) that the installer looks for the DVD in a predefined location, which is not where Suse is mounting the DVD. Step 6 takes care of that.

If you still have problems let us know and we'll look further into the problem :up:
