[opensuse] 10.3 Installation Problem
by william oakes 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

Folks, I have installed OpenSuse 10.3 (from a downloaded ISO and from the retail package) on two of my computers without a problem. The third computer is giving me fits. It presently has v.10.2 loaded. When I boot from the DVD to install v.10.3 from the retail package, Yast comes up without any problems, but bombs out when it tries to load the repositories from the DVD. I have tried two separate DVD drives, the newest was a double layer drive. The double layer drive gives error message that no repositories were found. Running check media gives a message stating that the media is broke. The second DVD brings up Yast but fails to install the repositories and keeps asking to retry. Is there some setting I can use to ensure that the repositories are found on the DVD. This is the same DVD that I used to install 10.3 on the other computers. Any advice would be appreciated. TIA Regards, Bill... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenSuse 10.3 Copy Speed Improvement
by Philippe Landau 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

Suddenly i see speeds above 50MBs when copying files to different Sata drives. Earlier 30 MB/s was good already. Now i reach up to 60. Is this improvement reached thanks to the new kernel ? Anyway this is the first distro where i see such speeds. So thank you, devs :-) Kind regards Philippe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

They have instructions as well. > best new year wishes > Dave Thanks, Dave. I have found the solution. The opensuse died again a few times. I decided to go ahead and instal Vista (Business) on the laptop. I have openSUSE running in a VM session. Since the laptop only came with an 80GB hard drive, I went ahead and ordered myself a new 200GB hard drive. Vista will stay on the 80 GB hard drive and be encrypted. I'll swap in the 200GB hard drive in a week or so when it arrives and put openSUSE on there. I'll keep y'all informed. :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] usb boot support
by jdd 01 Jan '08

01 Jan '08

There is a page on booting from usb in the wiki, http://en.opensuse.org/SuSE_install_from_USB_drive the name is partially misleading because you can simply boot and not only install, so I created a new page named http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Boot_from_USB&redirect=no this is for now just a redirection, but may be changed soon when the two pages may diverge But before going further, I have a question: why is it necessary to abort install and search manually for iso image, and not boot directly in the image? (like any CD/DVD) thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
