Summary: Need to re-evauate min system requirements in printed
materia on page 3 1.1 Hardwarerequirements
Product: openSUSE 10.2
Version: Final
Platform: i386
OS/Version: Other
Status: NEW
Severity: Major
Priority: P5 - None
Component: Usability
AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: scocoo@xxxxxxxxxx
QAContact: siegfried.olschner@xxxxxxxxxx
I started an insllation on at P3 1.0 Ghz total of 384 GIG of physical RAM well
within the suggested minimum standards currently defined.
Due to insufficient memory the GUI installation was not possible so went
through the laborious tasks of using the text based install. By the time I had
reached the commit installation I have already used up 12 man hours as I needed
to remove the windows partition, create a / partition and /home partition and a
swap file of aprox 580GB.
The installation of duisk 1, 3 and 6 took in access of 24 hours after
acceptance.
Upon finish of installation.
It is clear that even a P3 with just over the stated Physical memory where
installaton has to be done via text to be completely unacceptable.
Not there was NO issue in a GUI installation of MS Windows 2000.
We need to re-evaluate our minimum physical memory to 512GB where thee is no
integrated graphics card and stipulate min memory on video card.
If someone with an older system was to believe their old P2 with 512 GIG RAM
without a independent graphics card of x MB - I double with the GUI
installation would finish below 16 hours in which the new user is likely to
toss it out and retain Windows 2000 which loads in a matter of hours with full
GUI installation facilities.
We need to d some serious testing of the current range of P1-4 with 256IG of
RAM and HDD space and start stipulating Video Card (seperate not shared)
resources far more clearly.
GUI has loaded on the test PC, however it is basically useless because of the
time delay in actioning GUI interface commands.
NO other errors were encountered during installation - but we need to
physically test our claims on restricted performance PC's before we loose a lof
business.
Windows 2000 is actually usable in the above
- I cannot see with our more advanced GUI why we cannot surpass this.
Discussions is warranted at suse.de
