Instlux
From openSUSE
UPGRADE YOUR WINDOWS!
This page is for explaining the use of instlux, a software that lets a windows user start installing openSUSE from Windows, without configuring the BIOS.
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.
