I do not know anyone that is able to use the repair system. I am talking
about aprox... 200 users. This to me is a major pita. I really think
that we should get a delta. I really need to create new iso's. I am
getting pestered because of the repair system.

Hi Boyd,

Hmm, maybe I don't know what your background is. But why do these 200 users
you know want to use the repair system?

We might consider doing a delta later on, but for now it's more important to
give people a tool in the hand, so you can continue with the DVD you have.
Because people who bought a openSUSE box don't have much use of a delta.


I know publishing an new set of *.iso files with some of the fixes would
inconvenience a few people at openSuSE.org and do nothing for SuSE's
reputation. The facts are that important parts of 10.3 were released
broken and the fixes can't be distributed by 'updates' unless those
updates are included in the boxes people are now receiving in the
mailbox...and it doesn't appear that they are.

This is the general opion I am seeing. I could not upgrade/install 6
systems with the download DVD. They install/upgrade fine with the 10.2,
but 10.3 is really boarked. I do have 2 out of 10 system running 10.3.

And you created bug reports about all of them during the beta phase?

Greetings, Stephan
