Because for myself with a 4MB bandwidth, I can't use NET iso either.
Since we are trading user stories... I am on a rural DSL connection that tops out around 3 Mbps. It's all I can get here. I share that connection with my wife and son both avid streaming video users.
Doing an install with the NET installer is super slow and destroys the peace in the house. ;-)
Having a download manager grab the full DVD ISO while we are all asleep and installing from that the next day is a much better experience for me and everyone else in the house.
So while counter-intuitive, I'd side with: if you have a slow connection, you are better of downloading the DVD image over night or from another location that gives you better bandwidth.
More reasons for the DVD image:
- multiple installs (same or different machine) - trying it in VM first
Reason for NET installer:
- single install - sure exactly what I need and that it will work *
*) If there is any chance that I won't like the result of the first install and there will be a second run at it (different partitioning, default window manager etc) I am better of having the DVD ISO

I'm not 100% sure about the false feeling of peace in house. Actual stats of ftp tree 19G distribution/leap/42.1/repo/oss/ 20G update/leap/42.1/oss/ So after 6 months there's also a big bunch of updates you will have to download anyway. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
