Please report all bugs in bugzilla following http://bugs.opensuse.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IMPORTANT: The factory tree of our distribution still contains Beta1 packages. Due to a number of technical problems, we could not generate and sync it out. I expect it to be synced out on Sunday again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A list of known issues is on: http://www.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs For now let me just point out the following issues: * KDE's media handling does not work (my computer shows wrong informations and inserting new media does not open a query dialog). Workaround: After installation remove /opt/kde3/share/services/kded/networkstatus.desktop before you log into KDE. * If X applications start very slow, update the the fontconfig RPMs that are available from (http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1-OSS-beta2/fixed-rpms).
