M. Edward (Ed) Borasky napsal(a):
I just installed the 11.2 Milestone 1 DVD on my test system, an
ancient Compaq Presario 2110US with 512 MB of RAM and a 1.6 GHz Athlon
XP. First impressions:

1. The Synaptics Touchpad wasn't active on the DVD boot. I had to plug
in a USB mouse or use ALT-<letter> commands to navigate the install
menu.

Hi, thanks for your impressions.

I think that this should go to bugzilla as it looks like bug (please
check if it is not already reported).

2. After that, the install was fine. The only other comment I have,
and this is common to earlier openSUSE installs as well, is that I
haven't been able to set the host name during the install. It's not
terribly obvious how to set it *after* the install, either. Have I
missed something obvious, or does openSUSE not have a place to set the
host name during an install?


If you disable automatic configuration then you can set hostname.

3. The system, like 11.1, comes up with Beagle installed and running.
This kills my 512 MB machine and I end up de-installing it as soon as
I can. It can be disabled on a DVD or network install, but as far as I
can tell it can't be disabled on an install from a LiveCD. Any chance
of making the Beagle install optional in all cases?


I don't know universal case, but if you install from liveCD then if you
uninstall beagle before live installation it should not has beagle.
