Better to catch those problems during the actual release beta cycle, isn't it?
That is never going to happen.
It sure seems like in general it /has/ happened. We haven't really had any serious issues with not being able to install on most hardware. ISTR one release that had that happen (11.3, maybe?).
The real testing phase is the first month after the release, and that is a fact. A release becomes usable after two months of release, when the devs have cured the problems discovered in the first month.
And those updates are tested a lot, too.
They're not tested on install media, which is kinda my point. Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
