Okay, I've waited a couple of days to see if someone else will respond,
but I see no one has. What you need to do your install is a second
machine with a CDROM drive running NFS. (You also need a network
connection between the two machines) You simply set up your DNS machine
to export CD1 to a specific location and then tell the sparc machine to
install via NFS, and it will ask for the address and directory to use.
It is also possible to boot the sparc from the remote machine as well.
(This is handy if you don't have floppy drives on the sparc) That
requires setting up a BOOTP configuration on the remote machine, and
tftp as well. (If you read the documentation its really not that hard)
Hope this has helped you out some!

Subject: [suse-sparc] linux sparc installation
hello,
I would like to install the sparc suse linux version on my old sparc
machine. unfortunately, i don't have a sparc conforming cdrom
drive. how can i install the iso without having a cd-rom drive on my
sparc machine, but on any other i386 linux machine or windows
machine.
thanks in advance.
