The M6 x86_64 DVD download is 4.8 GB. It's too big to burn on my Verbatim 4.7 GB DVD's!! Milestone 5 and all previous milestones were 4.4 GB.

This is why double layer DVDs got invented. But you do not need to waste media if you have a network connection. Just "mount -o loop" the ISO file and export the tree via FTP, HTTP and/or NFS, then install the files boot/x86_64/loader/{initrd,linux} as a boot target and boot from it.

Not everyone has double-layer DVDs. I have always made it my goal to test the 64-bit DVD's and logging errors with Bugzilla.

You have to distribute it as a file service (http, ftp, nfs) via network. So it will not work using the same machine - you need a second.

In the mean time, downloading a whole pre-GM DVD ISO is silly if you have only one system to install it on.

I presume that USB or DVD alike, GM will be less than 4.7GB right? Because otherwise it won't fit on the Retail disk (double layer disk with 32bit and 64bit on the same medium).

It already does. The only requisite is that the ISO is in a partition that you don't touch during the installation. I don't remember the exact command. But if you run linuxrc without commands a menu will appear from where you can specify the ISO path. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Tried to burn with K3B on 11.4 MS5. Does not see the DVD. Yes I am member of Disk, Audio, CDROM and Video groups. tried an HP DVD-R and a Sony DVD+R. Neither recognized and no errors displayed in K3B. Both DVD's were brand new. I do have a double Layer DVD+R DL (8.5GB). Can I burn the ISO to it and then install? Been using the HP DVDs since 10.3 without problems. Last one I burned was 11.4 MS4. Then tried Brasero and get messsage : Blank DVD+R Disc: not enough space Please choose and other CD or DVD or insert a new one. The data size is too large for the disc even with the over burn option Seem to be same problem Roman has. Do you know if this has been reported> I look in AM. Is there a better explanation of the mount process mentioned above. My MS5 is on it own disk. I wanted to wipe it out and install MS6 clean due to some problems I'm having with Iscan, VirtualBox and KMail. MS5 was an upgrade usibg YaST.

Can you please upload the correct size forus to burn and test?
This is why double layer DVDs got invented.
But you do not need to waste media if you have a network connection.
Just "mount -o loop" the ISO file and export the tree via FTP, HTTP and/or NFS, then install the files boot/x86_64/loader/{initrd,linux} as a boot target and boot from it.

Not everyone has double-layer DVDs. I have always made it my goal to test the 64-bit DVD's and logging errors with Bugzilla.
All milestones have been around 4.4 GB and have always fit in 4.7 GB Verbatim DVDs. Why are they deviating from this unless it was an oversight?
I prefer testing on real hardware rather than a virtual environment.
FWIW, I test on real hardware and I use the loopback ISO and NFS approach. Most semi-modern network hardware comes with PXE-capable BIOSes. I can't be bothered to keep DVDs around and waste one every time I want to install a system with a new snapshot.

FWIW I use a DVD-RW.. just 1. -johnm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

It's a bug and we will fix it - and Bernhard already added a QA check for the sizes, so we notice earlier. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Thanks Stephan, Adding to Bernhard's QA tester check size for iso is a great idea. Any idea when the new isos will be available for download? -- Cheers!

I uploaded Milestone6 with 2 of the 3 blocking issues fixed, Javier and Robert work on the artwork and I hope the next build of factory will have that one fixed too. RC1 check in is next week!
I heard that we are staying with sysvinit. Can anyone explain why it was chosen over systemd for 11.4? I'm writing the story for news.opensuse.org.
