Hello fellow openSUSE enthusiasts.
As announced last week I have now finished 2 seperate iso's based on standard beta3. Both are single CD installation iso's without any modifications to the actual packages.
I will continue maintaining these and additionally to those create and maintain a gnome iso.
You can find them at
ftp://opensuse.linux.co.nz/pub/SUPER/iso/
super- openSUSE- 20052908- standard- kde.iso: kde base install on 1 CD (570 Mbyte) super- openSUSE- 20052908- standard- minimal.iso: minimal install on 1 CD (390 Mbyte)
A set of iso's with SUPER modifications already included will also be available in a few days. These iso's will be called - enhanced- kde.iso and enhanced- minimal.iso to differentiate them from the ones without any modifications (just straight openSUSE) called - standard- kde.iso and - standard- minimal.iso.
This is the first set of iso's and I would please ask you to test
and add any packages you would like to add to them to the following Wiki page. Any bugs should also be reported to that site.

The iso's are done using the standard recommended Novell way. I have modified control.xml to have a more streamlined installation. I have tried to add /boot and /home (you can see that in the control.xml), but for some reason it ignores it, maybe a suse.de person can give me a hint? I followed the NLD documentation from our website. Apart from
Hi there I guess you have all seen this. Can I have some special focus from this group on giving me feedback on these and suggest any optimizations to them? Another set of iso's will contain the SUPER mods also. I will do them on the basis of beta4, since preload will be fixed there and we can get ready for our rc's and I probably have some bugs and feedback from these iso's to be integrated in the next lot. We should start thinking about artwork for these. I would suggest as a minimum artwork change to 1.) Change the CDROM boot screen 2.) Change the congrats screen at the end of the install to point to the SUPER site instead of novell.com 3.) Add a special boot splash for the desktop install. If anyone here knows any graphic artists .... let me know. Have fun! Andreas them that
it is a straight install of beta3. I added a new My.sel under suse/setup/descr, which contains the needed packages. All in all a very straight forward process and I am thoroughly impressed with the modularity and simplicity of our installer. Having played with Anaconda in the past, I find our installer refreshingly simple yet very powerful.
Have fun!
Regards,
Andreas
