RE: [opensuse-project] how to split opensuse10.3 DVD iso image to CDs iso
by Administrator 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

| > What are you trying to achieve? | > | > David | | I think he has no DVD-ROM So, for install, the SuSE issued CDs will do, and any additional packages can be installed from the internet repositories? Or does he need a more complex solution (Create an ext2 partition on the hard drive using knoppix, Break the iso image into pieces, transfer via USB key to computer, reconstitute into iso on prepared partition, install using mini-CD & the iso on the partition)? Or am I missing something?

[opensuse-project] An Idea to improve OpenSuse for eeePC
by Alexander Muravya 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Hello, list! We already have opensuse for Asus eeePC but what about improving it: 1) We need to create "easy mode" (as it was realized in default Xandros) 2) We need to include packages for wi-fi and web-camera (and other hardware) in default selection (to enable "out of the box" support of all eeePC hardware) 3) Make ISO image for USB Sticks (because eeePC has no DVD-ROM) Second statement is very important because user need to download few packages to make his wi-fi working from Internet, but with the same time he has no wireless internet access. So what do you think on it? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Laptop Testing Team for openSUSE? (Ubuntu inspiration)
by Marek Stopka (M4r3k) 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

I found LaptopTestingTeam wikipage in Ubuntu wiki[1] and I think this page is good idea. We should establish similar team as well and create special namespace in wiki. What you think? It can help people who want buy new laptop, and it can be good for developers too, because we can create some articles with basic information about testing and how to test and this stuff... So we can have more bugreports and feedbacks. Maybe it is also possible to create some script for automatic testing (what you, QA team members think? Is it possible to create USEFUL not buggy script for automatic laptop testing with usable output for bugreporting, or manual tests are much more better?). It is not good idea to said "go ahead, create page about your laptop", because I think we should come to an agreement which information which are interesting and which are not. We should also create a unified template layout like we have for SDB and we should have own namespace in wiki for this article. What you think, which information are relevant? It is preffered to have this namespace locked for new user and establish a team with access (they can approve other wiki contributor articles, not only create their own), or better approach is full access for everyone?

[opensuse-project] download.o.o behaves weird
by Nikolay Derkach 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

Hi, (found on #opensuse.ru IRC channel) For some reason download.o.o redirects users with Russian IPs to to ftp.twaren.net, which is in Taiwan. Please fix it. By the way, this mirror is badly broken - many directories and files are missing. -- Regards, Nikolay Derkach --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Looks like the torrents are picking up
by Per Jessen 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

I've been seeding 11.1A1 x86_64 and i386 for a few days by now, and it's been going steady at 100Kbps (my limit) - when I was now downloading 11.1A1 i386, I saw +1200Kbps. I'm surprised about the current interest in Alpha1 - it's already 2 weeks old, but downloads are holding at a steady 100kBps. /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org
