chroot installation on live system + podcast of Jeff Waugh

[Zach]

Philip Susi posted to the list a link to a wiki entry he created on
doing a chrooted install from the Ubuntu Live CD for the purposes of
installing to a SATA raid.

This doesn't 100% apply to your situation, since you don't have a CD,
but you may be able to  adapt it to work from your running Suse
installation.

No floppy AND no CD-ROM?  that really limits options.  Is this a
laptop?  If you could somehow get a floppy hooked up, even
temporarily, I think debian has a netinstall image that fits on a
floppy disk, that could probably be made to work.
