My issues with installation images
--Hi, I'm relatively new to the linux world, And i like openSUSE, And i really want to use it for my everyday life(Currently i'm using debian testing), But i'm having a hard time trying to understand why would openSUSE chose to put a practically useless live images, Instead of a complete live images like all the major distributions, A live images that you can try the distro from and eventually installing the system from them, Instead of trying with them and knowing -as the download page state- that the live images doesn't reflect the real OS because they are incomplete.. And if i want to install the OS i have to download another image file.. I really hope that the openSUSE team would take this into consideration --AH.. And it would be really useful if the team can add torrent files to download from(Again like the major distributions(and this is not because the other distributions are better, It's just because it's very handy to have torrent files sometimes)), Because after i clicked download, The mirror link that was automatically chosen for me was downloading at 70kbps, andi found out about it after i woke up.. --much respect and love.

There are torrents for Leap here: https://get.opensuse.org/leap/ Click on 'Download' and then the dropdown menu next to each button. There are none for Tumbleweed because I guess it wouldn't make sense with how quickly ISOs change. regards

One thing I've used the live version for is testing a ThinkPad before I bought it. There is also system repair, which I have used or just accessing a command line to run something like fdisk. Sometimes you really don't need a full distro, just enough to do something. BTW, I believe you can install the full distro to a USB drive, though I haven't tried that.

Certainly you can. To a hard disk via USB. To flash media, you can, but it is not optimized to it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
