Putting about an alpha which cannot even be booted to see what the (alpha) OS looks like is a total and an utter waste of everyone's time and effort -- and money because downloads cost money.
The problem is that somewhere with some (most probably newer) hardware it worked before it was uploaded, or released for publishing, but the time when Novell sunk money for various hardware and paid people to test it, is gone.
It doesn't require the need to hire a nuclear scientist to simply place a burned CD or DVD into the cdrom drive and see if the damn thing even boots/runs and/or to click on the option to Check the Media. Do you remember what occurred a (?) couple of months ago when the CDs were put about which were only 400+MB big and not the ~700MB big as expected? Who was the one to find this out? A user, but not anybody at Novell/oS. And you don't need to be a brain surgeon to see that a CD is not the normal, expected size when it is being sent out to the download directory and to all the mirrors around the world. Nor is it necessary to employ any additional people for this not to occur.
