From the "more to go wrong" POV, I turn to Knoppix whenever I face new Intel-architecture PC hardware. It works, it works ALWAYS, whatever the hardware. It will figure out whatever the ports and disks and memory. I realise it is not done with the Build Service but it is FOSS and you can look at
Well, yes, and maybe, and maybe not, and no. And it's easy to segue from one to another, you just have to squint. The Build Service DOES have some LiveCDs there. I recall a couple related to KDE that I tried out ... I think they were labelled after some of the Nobel/inert gases. So someone got it right, and I'm sure those could be used as templates. Wait. I have a huge collection of 'installation' disks for openSUSE, Fedora, Mageia. I won't touch ubuntu! The Nobel KDEs don't seem to be there, but I do have LiveCD labelled disks for -- openSUSE 11.0 Gnome -- openSUSE 11.0 KDE 4.4 -- openSUSE 11.2 Gnome -- openSUSE 11.2 KDE -- openSUSE 11.3 alpha KDE 4.4 0447 -- openSUSE 13.2 KDE There are also a number for Fedora 15. the build template. So. certainly up to 13.2 I don't share Richard's jaundiced view of things; the evidence is otherwise. -- Each success only buys an admission ticket to a more difficult problem. -- Henry Kissinger, Wilson Library Bulletin, March 1979 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
