Well, that operation was done because of a disaster. It was damage control, actually. The normal DVD was simply impossible to install for many people. So we are fortunate that there has been no need to remaster the DVD again :-)
It was not a success story, but something better forgotten!
It may be a disaster in the past. Today we are technically better positioned.
On the other hand, it would be nice if somebody could create an updated DVD, unofficial: meaning just best effort, no in depth testing, no wide mirroring, about 6..8 months after release, to facilitate installations on sites with limited bandwidth.
Unofficial with no mirroring of ~4.3 GB DVD data. This is really difficult, also in terms of safety. I would rather choose a trusted source directly from the openSUSE project. The openSUSE project has a really good mirror network. Why it is not offered by the existing infrastructure to release a remastered DVD? If the remastered DVD needs more spaces as an DVD, the user can burned it on DL-DVD or write directly to an USB-Stick. This is in fact the slightest problem.
Alternatively, a DVD with the updates needed for the install DVD, not the entire repo.
2 DVDs for the installation? This is not a good idea because this method of installation uses also the most bandwidth. -- Kind regards, Sebastian - openSUSE Member (Freespacer) Website/Blog: http://www.sebastian-siebert.de Important notes on openSUSE Mailing List: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_list_netiquette -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
