[Lilux-help] suse8.1 yast and ftp help needed

[Brent Frère]

If you are looking for a way to remotely install Suse distribution, I 
confirm that (after long researchs) there is no such ressource on the 
web, because it is forbidden by the terms of the licence of some 
softwares contained in the CDs. No problem to use YOU (YaST On-line 
Update), but no ways to install Suse from the web. Sorry.

You should instead try to find a set of Suse8.1 CDs.
