Everything fine. I booted the CD, it loaded correctly the installation system (a bit slow but works) and gave me before the welcome screen a warning: "YaST was unable to find the correct control file. We are using a fall-back one. This should not happen and it is worth reporting a bug." Then, it didn't find the licence file... And finally, at the Desktop selection, there was no choice but "Other". I choiced it, clicked Next and it gave me that message: "No system type was selected. Select the default type." Clicked OK and came back to the desktop selection with only "Other". The only option was to Discard the install, impossible to go further. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download openSUSE-NET-Build0675-i586.iso 2. Burn it 3. Boot it 4. You'll see what is describe in the summary I tried it twice. Actual Results: Described in summary Expected Results: It should have control file, licence and desktop selection. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The log doesn't contain anything suspicious, I only guess that the server contained wrong/invalid metadata at that time.
