From S.u.S.E. Linux 4.4.1 on, some CDROM drives at the parallel port are supported by beta drivers. First of all these are the BackPack CDROM drive by Microsolutions, not easily obtainable in Europe, as well as the drives by Freecom. If you use a S.u.S.E. Linux's older version, you can take a new bootdisk from our ftp server: ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse44/disks/betaboot .
For the Freecom Power:
mknod /dev/pwcd b 62 0 mkdir /cdrom mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/pwcd /cdromFor the BackPack:
mknod /dev/bpcd b 41 0 mkdir /cdrom mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/bpcd /cdromHere start YaST and select as installation source "reachable directory". Declare "/cdrom" as directory.
Please pay attention to the following: some of the drives must have been initialised by the DOS driver belonging to them, before they can be detected by the Linux kernel:
The procedure in this case is best described in the article S.u.S.E. Linux installation through hard disk as well as in the handbook.
