This release combines the 10.1 GM and all online updates that we have released for 10.1 so far
So the fixed udev package is included. That's great because now is should be possible to install SUSE 10.1 on a box with SAS disks (LSI Logic) like SUNs Galaxy servers (udev / mkinitrd bug). -- Marcus
I think it is a very good idea to release such "Second Edition" ISOs (like with SUSE 10.1 or Windows 98). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Metalinks are available for SUSE Linux 10.1 Remastered at http://metalink.packages.ro/ (They're automatically made as soon as the ISOs reach the mirror). Metalinks contain mirror and p2p locations along with checksums and other metadata for faster and easier downloads. Downloads are distributed between mirrors and checksums are automatically verified when it finishes. Here's a good description: 'Metalink makes complex download pages obsolete by replacing long lists of download mirrors and BitTorrent trackers with a single .metalink file. As you might have already guessed, a .metalink file is a file that tells a download manager all the different ways it can download a file. The file itself takes the form of an open XML standard that can list an unlimited number of HTTP and FTP sources as well as BitTorrent trackers and ed2k and magnet links.' (http://www.downloadsquad.com/2006/08/28/metalinks-integrated-bittorrent-htt p-and-ftp-downloads/) Here's part of what they look like: <file name="SUSE-Linux-10.1-Remastered-DVD-i386.iso"> <os>Linux-x86</os> <size>3416643584</size> <verification> <hash type="md5">78ed3658033ee01130bb0aad56da7e38</hash> </verification> <resources> <url type="http" location="ro" preference="10"> http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/opensuse.org/distribution/SL-stable/non-os s-dvd-iso/SUSE-Linux-10.1-Remastered-DVD-i386.iso </url> <url type="ftp" location="ro" preference="10"> ftp://ftp.suse-linux.ro/opensuse/distribution/SL-stable/non-oss-dvd-iso/SUSE -Linux-10.1-Remastered-DVD-i386.iso </url> </resources> Download clients are available for Unix, Mac, & Windows.
