you need to apply this iso to the old iso like this applydeltaiso oldiso.iso deltaiso.iso newiso.iso then burn newiso in k3b On 4/21/07, Edward Dunagin wrote:

I downloaded openSUSE-10.3-Alpha2_Alpha3-DVD-i386.delta.iso. but very unsure what it is. When I go to burn it, k3b tells me it is not an iso9660 file. Will this update my alpha2+ to alpha 3?

Be warned that applying dvd-deltas takes a loooong time >2 hrs on my AMD64 3000+. And requires quite a lot of memory too. I once tried to run out of memory and have the process quit after some 1½-2 hrs with 1 gig ram + 500 megs swap.

Nowadays 1 GB RAM seems so small :-) The applydeltaiso works fine here: 512 MB + 1.5 GB swap, 1.6 MHz Athlon XP 2000+, It takes really long, but it runs in background unnoticed, unlike some other processes, and I can use computer for not computing intensive tasks, like email and browsing without glitches. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Sounds to me that I should just download the new alpha3 and upgrade alpha2+..Oh well, when I get to it...............:-)

Hope it wasn't me who scared you ;-) I have enlarged my swap so I have 1 gig ram + 1 gig swap, there are no problems with memory now. And I completely agree with Rajko that you can easily do other work while it's applying. I always use the deltaisos. Despite the time it takes to apply it's still faster than downloading on my connection (2 mbit download). And I cause less load on servers. After applying the delta I can seed the complete dvd iso with bittorrent. I'm a big fan of the deltaisos, just wanted to warn that it isn't magic. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
