[opensuse-factory] M6, Netinstall.
Hi, Some things are strange to me: 1) You have to mark addons, else you get 127pkgs, very many dep problems, and an unbootable system. (i would think there should be a warning about that happening, because there is no preselection on addons, but there is one at autoconfig. Is this intentional, or should i file a bug about that?) When marking the addons checkbox, one enters a page with much too many options, imho, for new users very confusing. I was glad the community sources were available, because i did not have an url handy... 2) The gui doesn't work, so ncurses takes 2th part of installation. 3) Still need sax2 to setup x. I thought since the discussion about that, there would be a working alternative. But i was very glad sax2 was around to setup my monitor :) It took me the whole day to setup a working 11.2 M6. pkgs bundle-lang-gnome-nl and bundle-lang-gnome-en (probably all others also) are badly broken. They keep trying to install, and the only thing to do is ctrl+alt+del to quit and start the install new, after unmarking these 2 pkgs for install during pkg-controle, in the installer At this point, i am very serious, when asking to bring back a 'skip','ignore' and 'retry' button, in the installer, at the point of installing pkgs. Those buttons could be 'hidden' under the 'cancel' button, to complete the dialog there is now: 'abort' and 'continue'. When there are pkgs broken in the repo, there has to be a way to continue the install, without starting all over again. I think everybody would agree on that? This would be for proper use of the netinstaller.. The partitioner works great! Just one click from the imported mountpoints, to change a partition, very nice.. ;) The look and feel of the installer are improved also, and 'back' works now flawless. ifup also works, not talking about wifi here, cause i did not try that yet. I am glad i have a working M6 now.. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)

Initially I had a similar problem with them, but AFAICT the download from Uni-Heidelberg was just too slow, so I started over and used mirror.switch.ch directly, and had no problems. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.3°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Hmm. That is strange. These are very small pkgs. I had troubles with these pkgs before, when updating all pkgs. (Install was ok, just didn't boot, some strange with /dev/sde, instead of /dev/sda. Anyway, the rootpartition could not be found, and grub could not get installed because initrd could not be made) Anybody knows anything about these pkgs? -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.)

Maybe I mistook the packages - the one I had a problem with was 11Mb.
Well, I use lilo and installed it manually. I doubt if those packages are somehow to blame for your system not booting. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (23.5°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

(lol) Nono, these pkgs have nothing to do with that ;) They just caused me to restart the update/install...(after disabeling them in the pkgmngr..) -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.)

No you did not, i just looked them up: '-en' is the biggest of the two: 21.1MB. '-nl' 3.7MB.. bundle-lang-gnome-nl came allways first on my side... when after disabeling it, '-en' started to do the same, i also disbeled that, but did not care to look for the size.... -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.)
