[opensuse-factory] What about providing Release Notes also for LiveCDs?
Hi I'm wondering whether it wouldn't make sense to provide release notes also for openSUSE LiveCDs. I'm thinking about topics you need to know before running the LiveCD, e.g. to avoid a black screen with some graphics cards (boot option "nomodeset"). What do you think? Is anything already planned for 11.3? Or do we still rely on these "most annoying bugs" pages, which probably especially new users are never going to find? Best would be to see such release notes already when downloading the LiveCD image, i.e. accessible on the same page.

http://software.opensuse.org has tons of links, but I'm afraid most are not read. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Maybe it'd make sense to have a custom homepage for browsers on the livecd. Something like a big search box + a link to the release notes and a link to opensuse.org?

... which of course doesn't help at all, if you don't manage to get the LiveCD running due to a black screen from the beginning ...

I have my doubts that a home page on the live cd will help the people with black screens. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Yeah, I just read the first mail in the thread way too fast :-) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Ok. So we have that already with the link at the bottom to http://www.suse.de/relnotes/i386/openSUSE/11.2/RELEASE-NOTES.en.html But you're right. Most likely nobody is going to read it. :-( Thanks, Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)
