Thanks, Felix. I did gamble earlier today and lost :-( : the KDE Live CD Build 0258 for a 32-bit system is, simply, sorry to say, crap :-( . Not installable in any way, cannot even check the Media, and the Live bit can only be started after going thru moves which even a contortionist would find difficult.

Thanks Felix. Yes, I AM a gambler - and therefore a loser as a result :-( . I downloaded the KDE Live 32-bit #262 "CD" this morning, while I was still in the offpeak period, where I am not charged for downloads, and it acted just like the #258 one I wasted my time on BUT with this proviso: I did NOT try to install it. I will try to do so tomorrow morning when I am again in the offpeak, not-being-charged-for, time slot.

No I hadn't, and thanks for this URL, Bernhard. If only I knew about this earlier today...... I shall try, once again, tomorrow morning.

It takes me 10-12 hours to download a DVD version which I can ill afford. Thanks again for the above link. BC -- Wife sent me to the doctor to get the pills for me to have an erection.

There is very little risk these days. Some of my boxes have been progressively upgraded live all the way from 11.0 Milestone 0 to 11.2 Milestone 2. I only ever do a fresh install sometimes when upgrading to a larger HD. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

See my other reply re what happened this morning. After failing to install MS #2 I re-installed MS #1 and then went for zypper dup - which was a waste of time as now my system is truly stuffed because not all of the upgrades were installed due to a missing file. Now I cannot even login to try and recover, and so will have to start all over again. (But I really don't know why I am bothering. Stubbornness I guess......)

Well, I counted to 10 many times so far since this morning and now feel that I have attained some degree of calmness in order to be able to add to what I wrote yesterday (above). I woke up before dawn this morning to make sure that I had time to be able to install 12.2 MS #2 before I ran out of offpeak (broadband) time. And so what happens? SFA! The installation stops at the point where it has to create/write GRUB2! "sh: /usr/sbin/grub2-mkconfig: no such file or directory". "sh: /usr/sbin/grub2-install: no such file blah blah blah". I then thought to myself, "I am going to beat this SOB if it's the last thing I do!" So I re-installed Milestone #1 again and then went for "zypper dup" - which I already tried a couple of days ago with the only problem arising to do with the nVidia driver [requiring the patch] - and which took some 2 hours to download all the files. It then started to install them all until it got to one file and all the wheels fell off. "rpm /lib/libc.so.6 GLIBC_2.15 not found required by /usr/lib/librpm.so.2". Now the whole system is really f***** because I cannot even login into the mess to try and recover whatever is still left standing. And so, the SOB beat me, once again.

"rpm /lib/libc.so.6 GLIBC_2.15 not found required by /usr/lib/librpm.so.2".
that could be: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693915 you could add a comment there and probably update the version? maybe rpm does not understand symbol versioning?
Now the whole system is really f***** because I cannot even login into the mess to try and recover whatever is still left standing.

"Back to the Future" time...... I just came across this when I accidentally stumbled into DistroWatch.com where it has this entry (http://distrowatch.gdsw.at/ ) dated 20 March: QUOTE Jos Poortvliet has announced the availability of the second milestone release of openSUSE 12.2. Some of the major changes in this release include introduction of GRUB 2 and Plymouth and GCC 4.7. From the release announcement: "Those following the openSUSE development closely probably know that the 2nd milestone on the way to openSUSE 12.2 was planned for the beginning of this week. And indeed you can now download it. As usual, a list of the most annoying bugs is being maintained and you can see the list of bugs and/or file a new one in Bugzilla. Read on for some details on the release and how to help."
