Have you looked at http://download.opensuse.org/factory/iso/ ? From what I see I wouldn't bet on an announcement coming as scheduled. If you're a gambler maybe 262 is worth a shot.
Thanks Felix.
Yes, I AM a gambler - and therefore a loser as a result :-( .
I downloaded the KDE Live 32-bit #262 "CD" this morning, while I was still in the offpeak period, where I am not charged for downloads, and it acted just like the #258 one I wasted my time on BUT with this proviso: I did NOT try to install it. I will try to do so tomorrow morning when I am again in the offpeak, not-being-charged-for, time slot.

Well, I counted to 10 many times so far since this morning and now feel that I have attained some degree of calmness in order to be able to add to what I wrote yesterday (above). I woke up before dawn this morning to make sure that I had time to be able to install 12.2 MS #2 before I ran out of offpeak (broadband) time. And so what happens? SFA! The installation stops at the point where it has to create/write GRUB2! "sh: /usr/sbin/grub2-mkconfig: no such file or directory". "sh: /usr/sbin/grub2-install: no such file blah blah blah". I then thought to myself, "I am going to beat this SOB if it's the last thing I do!" So I re-installed Milestone #1 again and then went for "zypper dup" - which I already tried a couple of days ago with the only problem arising to do with the nVidia driver [requiring the patch] - and which took some 2 hours to download all the files. It then started to install them all until it got to one file and all the wheels fell off. "rpm /lib/libc.so.6 GLIBC_2.15 not found required by /usr/lib/librpm.so.2". Now the whole system is really f***** because I cannot even login into the mess to try and recover whatever is still left standing. And so, the SOB beat me, once again.
