Serves me right for fixing the error and then getting an ISO file that would not ever fit on a DVD, eh? Well, long story short: I needed to save some space, so looked at what the ‘fix’ newly brought on the DVD and aligned to what the DVD looked like before.
Is there really someone out there using a DVD for TW installation? Or would it better be sqashed to fit on a 4GB USB stick?
As I'm having a hard time to fit stuff on a 4.7GB medium: do you really think it will be easier to fit on a 4GiB medium? :)
It's very hard to tell which download medium is most used.. and without proper stats there is no way to know.
I for one prefer going with a DVD (well, 8GB thumb drive) to somebody to help setup a fresh TW box. Of course the NET installer would probably save some bandwidth, but that requires the bandwidth to be available where the installation happens. so it's mostly a geographical commodity to use the DVD to kick start; subsequent zypper dup are then 'not my time sitting in front of my friends computers'
Anecdotally, I also use the DVD ISO on a USB stick because MB always picks a bad mirror for me, so a network-based install always times out or is ungodly slow. Installing openSUSE via the network-based installation is frustrating unless you have your own local mirror, of which I have nowhere to put one... -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
