--8<--- Choosing Which Media to Download The DVD/USB Stick is typically recommended as it contains most of the packages available in the distribution and does not require a network connection during the installation.
The Network CD/USB Stick is recommended for users who have limited bandwidth on their internet connections, as it will only download the packages they choose to install, which is likely to be significantly less than 4.7GB. -->8---
That sounds opposite of what I would use it for.
I usually take the Net iso if I have plenty of bandwidth and the DVD is I don't, as the DVD already has most instantly available and thus doesn't need to fetch it.
Can you elaborate?
The DVD download takes 4.7GB and gives you far more packages on the DVD than you are likely to install The NET ISO is 100MB and will only install the packages you select when you install. This is typically somewhere between 1-2GB So for a single installation, downloading the NET ISO and using it for installation is going to save you a few GB's of downloading. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
