Hi

I'm wondering whether it wouldn't make sense to provide release notes also
for openSUSE LiveCDs. I'm thinking about topics you need to know before
running the LiveCD, e.g. to avoid a black screen with some graphics cards
(boot option "nomodeset").

What do you think? Is anything already planned for 11.3? Or do we still
rely on these "most annoying bugs" pages, which probably especially new
users are never going to find?

Best would be to see such release notes already when downloading the
LiveCD
image, i.e. accessible on the same page.

http://software.opensuse.org has tons of links, but I'm afraid most are not
read.

Maybe it'd make sense to have a custom homepage for browsers on the
livecd. Something like a big search box + a link to the release notes
and a link to opensuse.org?

... which of course doesn't help at all, if you don't manage to get the LiveCD
running due to a black screen from the beginning ...

Best regards,
Stefan
