...

I've no idea what you talk about.

I can't do much about that :-)

...

a) the _is_ a media check option

Nobody claims there isn't, but it's in a less than obvious place.

...

b) firmware test is there mainly to give you a way to test your bios (iirc)

This is a thing every plain vanilla user does before anything else, and it really should be the first item on the menu.

Programmer 2008-12-08 06:10:38 MST --- Well, I recall to have read it during my various tries to make use of it, presently it's not working anyway ( 11.1RC1 DVD ) but rather throwing up a message box stating: I/O Error File not found: biostest Anyway, I have tried to make use of it since 10.3 and never understood what good it could do to anyone. If there are people out there using it frequently just ignore my request. Why the Media Check shouldn't be in the first menu to come up from a DVD is also beyond me. Imagine: Windows user downloads ISO image from download.opensuse.org/distribution... (S)he will _not_ have MD5 check at hand nor know about its purpose, booting from the resulting DVD can lead anyplace as long as the image isn't checked for validity. I have ended up in most peculiar places until I found the image to be corrupt. Actually the thing should ask for validity check before the main menu is offered... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
