internet installation of Beta5 madness...
I was not successful at installing beta5 over the internet. I'll try again on March 3rd with beta6 but here are the problems I experienced with beta5: (1) Every time the boot disk booted up for i386, which is my system, I would get a message saying "Installation system does not match your boot medium. It may make your bug reports worthless" I have no idea what this meant, but hopefully the following is still useful... (2) figuring out which installation repository to point YaST to. I tried a) 204.152.191.7 (mirrors.kernel.org) /opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/ here I got software dependency problems, read as "Cannot solve dependencies automatically. Manual intervention is required" followed up by "This would invalidate OpenOffice_org-2.0.2_4.i586[http://204.152.191.7/open..." when I tried to select a few packages. so I gave up on this repository and went on to ... b) 66.184.207.32 (ftp.ale.org) /pub/mirrors/opensuse/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source here I got no software packages at all. It could not find any packages on the installation repository or something along those lines. c) 195.135.221.130 (download.opensuse.org) /distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source here I got the message "network error 403" and never got to the installation screen that I experienced with the above two repositories. This repository was a dud. (3) At one point, randomnly, when booting up the boot disk I got a X-mas Santa penguin screen... Out of the blue. Penguins were skating and moving all over. I was so shocked that the timer ran out and the system went back to booting the regular OS. (4) I'm starting to wonder if the internet installation repositories are working at all? Is this my problem to begin with? Either way, I'm willing to try beta6 when it comes out but if there is something fundamental I'm doing wrong with the internet installation then let me know. Benji

Your boot disk is older, this shouldn't case any of the problems below.
(2) figuring out which installation repository to point YaST to. I tried
a) 204.152.191.7 (mirrors.kernel.org) /opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/
here I got software dependency problems, read as "Cannot solve dependencies automatically. Manual intervention is required" followed up by "This would invalidate OpenOffice_org-2.0.2_4.i586[http://204.152.191.7/open..." when I tried to select a few packages.
That's the factory tree from yesterday, it had a broken package manager. We do sync out directly without testing - should be fixed tomorrow.
so I gave up on this repository and went on to ...
b) 66.184.207.32 (ftp.ale.org) /pub/mirrors/opensuse/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source
here I got no software packages at all. It could not find any packages on the installation repository or something along those lines.
c) 195.135.221.130 (download.opensuse.org) /distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source
here I got the message "network error 403" and never got to the installation screen that I experienced with the above two repositories. This repository was a dud.
(3) At one point, randomnly, when booting up the boot disk I got a X-mas Santa penguin screen... Out of the blue. Penguins were skating and moving all over. I was so shocked that the timer ran out and the system went back to booting the regular OS.
That's the christmas egg ;-)

The repositories are updated regularly and this causes the problem, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

I will freeze tomorrow ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/private/beta/SL-OSS-factory-beta6/ after it has reached the true beta6 state. Andreas, please tell me if the moment has come. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)

Andreas, please tell me if the moment has come.
That moment will take some more time - we found a bug in the FACTORY tree that makes installation completely impossible. The bug is not triggered by our CDs, just by the FACTORY tree (or any other tree that has src rpms in it). So, expect at least one more sync this afternoon. Eberhard, you'll get an email once it's synced out, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

That is an easter egg. Well, more of a x-mass egg. ;-) I think the next egg should be tetris during installation. :-) houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.
