Description Jon Nelson 2005-09-25 17:46:13 UTC 
Many laptops in secure environments can't access the internet (or even the
intranet) without VPN software. Other times they don't have CDROM/DVD access
either. I had openSuSE 10.0 unpacked onto a hard drive partition but it was on
an LVM volume.  The install procedure from hard drive would have worked great
but not for me because the installer couldn't see the LVM partitions. D'Oh!  I
do have CDROM access but I only had the downloaded DVD unpacked, and I don't
have a DVD reader or writer. How can I upgrade or install without using a hard
drive source when the source is on a LVM logical volume?

Just rechecked with our yast lvm expert. It would make way to much problems  
implementing this. Sorry.

I don't have access to see bug 52807. Can that be fixed?
Comment 3 Steffen Winterfeldt 2005-09-26 14:42:09 UTC 
Sigh. Apparently not. :-( 
 
In any case, it's not very informational either. Just a request like yours 
about a year ago which got rejected.
