Not that I normally use that, but it would have been nice to find out my DVD was bad before I hosed the install on my Thinkpad. Of course the first 2 failures trying to update from Beta3 should have been a clue, but oh well......I'm not re-downloading the DVD with the Live-CD. I'm glad I have the foresight to have a separate data partition for situations like this........ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

It's at initial boot now - but see also bug #395157,

I am still confused, sorry. I do see the media check from within YaST after the system has been installed. I don't see this option on the screen prior to installing. Perhaps I am misunderstanding what "initial boot" means or am not looking in the right area. The RC1 installation was really fast and smooth. The repositories got setup and previous error messages I had with Beta 3 are gone. It looks really nice so far. I am still confused if I should take a chance on my production machine with KDE 4 or stick with KDE 3 until 4.1 comes out sometime later.

If you put the DVD in and boot, you get a "check medium" entry below "Boot from Hard drive" and "Installation". (the wording might not be 100% correct, it's what I have in memory :)

Hi Stepan, I have been seeing this choice as you describe above with previous versions of SUSE up until 11.0. The choice is NO LONGER there. However, I do see it after the installation is complete under Software YaST. I never see it on the boot DVD anylonger. From my vantage point we are still communicating the initial point I was trying to make. Please put 11.0 in your machine and boot and look for the "Media Check" entry. For me it is gone.
