Ken Where did you find Alpha 6?

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3-Alpha6/ Been there since early this morning. Further info while I'm at it: Applied the delta iso to the alpha 5 DVD, loop mounted the DVD on my server and I'm doing an FTP upgrade. The upgrade hangs every now and then with the above error, if I click on retry right away the error message comes back but if I wait 15-20 seconds the upgrade will continue on to the next package. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Thanks Ken;

However, is there a normal FTP or other way to get the DVD short of Bit Torrent. That is because I seem to only get a download speed of 6.3k off of a DSL 350K line. The last DVD (Alpha 5) took about 2 full days. I just tried Alpha 6 and it was just as slow.

Anyone have a clue? Your "been there since morning" implies you are having the same problem.

No. Downloaded the DVD delta via ftp this morning in about 1 1/2 hours. Took 2.5 hours for the applydeltaiso to run and I'm now going through the upgrade. I have tried bittorrent many times in the past and every time it was dead slow so I gave up on it and will only use ftp from here on out. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Sorry about the "K" and I meant "M" - this job I have is ruining my life and memory. I do agree that it BitTorrent is a dead horse. So where did you get the ftp version?

From the above link. I downloaded the "delta" DVD iso image as I stated above.

Yes, ftp install is broken :-( - should be mentioned on the Most Annoying Bugs page and in the announcement,

Andreas

Follow up:

Installation finished using ftp, yes it is broken and has a bug number, I was able to continue by pressing the retry button on several packages. Eventually it finished.

Some other issues I will open a bug for:

network setup reports "could not convert 'ifcfg-eth-XXXXXXXXXXX': file already exists". I had to manually remove the file in order for the network to be configured. On the plus side my wireless is now working again and will report this in the bug I have open.

Yes, please do file a bug with all details (append the file), Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform/openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
