No, I'm pretty sure that, at least, RC2 has been tested by the openSUSE
community. Some of e-mails here on the mailing-list have RC2 in their
subject.

Ah, I see, I had overlooked that this was in inst-sys, sorry for that.
Misunderstanding: I thought you were mentioning adding extra-sources
after your network is configured and tested.

Anyway, if you boot from CD or DVD you should not get any
network-related option in "New Add-On Configuration" dialog (or how is
it called) such as SLP, HTTP, FTP etc.

But if you still want to have network configured during the first-stage
installation (int-sys), use a Linuxrc parameter

"DHCP=1"

at the boot-screen menu ... or you can set a static address using

"HostIP=192.168.1.100 Netmask=255.255.255.0 Gateway=192.168.1.1
Nameserver=192.168.1.2 DHCP=0 UseDHCP=0 Domain=your.domain"

Of course :) with your own settings...

You can consult these (or other) Linuxrc parameters with this document:

Have a nice day
