If bandwidth is a topic, then you are in an emerging region, to phrase it positively.
For those who've never ventured outside Europe, I can understand how that might seem so.
I think you (and Basil, but for him it's expected ;-)) are misreading Axels statement.
I read it as "if we are considering low bandwidth as an issue, then Blu-Ray media and USB sticks are not the solution, because often it will be the case that people with low bandwidth will not have the option of USB boot and Blu-Ray drives".
On the contrary.
I have had low bandwidth for many years, 1 megabit per second adsl. I downloaded the DVD taking days (say, intermittently during the nights), because that is far easier that attempting to install directly from network: the initial install or the upgrades can take a day or two.
Why don't you download NET iso and perform installation with packages you need? Or you can download via iPXE linux and initrd from download.suse.org and boot installer without downloading any ISO.
Because on the place I have the time available to test 15.0 Beta this week I have capped Internet, via tethering from mobile phone. I have, now, 300 Mb fibre at home, so I burn an USB stick and take it with me and the laptop, for testing. I try, I see no XFCE, abort, and write here. People with a limited Internet can download the DVD at some other place, or slowly taking days at home (I have done both). But you can not do a netinstall with slow internet and take days about it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
