This article decribes how to install openSUSE from inside Windows.

Upgrade your windows to openSUSE the easiest possible way: running an installer from Windows. Do not worry any more about configuring your system to boot from a CDROM/DVDROM. Instlux is included on your openSUSE since the 10.3 release.

Instlux is based on Marc Herbert's web page and was started as a sourceforge.net project on October 2005.

Instlux was included in the openSUSE 10.3.

You can access the code in: http://instlux.svn.sourceforge.net

In order to compile it you need:

• the nsis for linux, http://instlux.sourceforge.net/dependencies/nsis-2.18-alt1.i586.rpm
• GetVersion (Windows) Plugin for NSIS http://nsis.sourceforge.net/GetVersion_(Windows)_plug-in
• System plugin for NSIS http://nsis.sourceforge.net/System_plug-in
• inetc plugin http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Inetc_plug-in
• and python installed.

Then, just run the make_instlux.py script.

Instlux has been sponsored by:

openTrends Solucions i Sistemes S.L. http://www.opentrends.net

The instlux project was a contribution from the openSUSE community member Jordi Massaguer Pla.
