Did you try the "voice read-out"? That gives text install.

Yep. That would be the case. I was curious about it, and then couldn't turn it off.

Let me see if I can reproduce it first. If so, then I will file a bug.

Thanks for testing Beta3,

No problem. Other than a few minor issues, it seems to be coming along really well. The speed of the installation is much better. I have noticed that the graphical YaST doesn't install, but that may be because I didn't install zypper. I will re-install and allow zypper to be installed. However, on such a slow system, up to v10.3 it was really slow. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ok, on re-installation it went fine with the GUI and I left zypper in. Also, the GUI YaST came up ok. Is zypper really a full requirement now?(evidently removing it keeps a lot of stuff from working.....*sigh* I hope it doesn't slow my system down. A P3/500 isn't the fastest.)

zypper is a requirement - and nothing like zmd. It's really fast and memory efficient: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2008/05/15/speed-and-memory-usage-of-zypp-in-110... On your system I would use "zypper up" instead of yast for updating software.

Also, when I selected the repositories I wanted, the KDE and Mozilla repos failed. And is it necessary to have all those prompts to say yes to the PGP keys? Why not one dialog with a list of all of the keys at one time? That was kinda annoying to have to wait and select each one.

File an enhancement request for that.

Now it says:

Error: The metadata cache needs to be rebuilt for the 'Main Repository (Non-OSS)' repository. You can run 'zypper refresh' as root to do this.

I ran zypper refresh(which would be a bad thing for a new user to deal with) and then selected "check now".

The updater now gave all the above errors in separate dialog boxes.

Are the repositories working?

I don't know what went wrong here - better file a bugreport, 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

So, don't use YOU anymore?

On a system with slow cpu and little memory, I would use zypper instead of YOU - but YOU benefits from the libzypp improvements as well, 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
