I have no idea of the number of sold boxes. I think they make it also for marketing purposes, and actually I like the idea of the box. I know more than one contributor that started "just to have a box" and then became a faithful contributor too.
yes, but having a box is pretty difficult nowaday and the most expensive is shipping costs from Germany
No box needed sounds a bit strong to me. However, who would prepare the DVD's every four months?
dvd with only the bugfixes already done should not be that difficult, but if it is why not add an update cd? but it should be available with the box/hard bound delivery, not only as dl. most unexperienced people doing a good install endup with several hours dl at the end of the install, this is not pretty Is it really worth instead than downloading a
few delta RPM's? And what about the mirrors? Would they be happy with such frequent updates?
updates are not a problem (only three in 8 month) if disk usage is the same we have problems because things are blocked by the box system. Only this prevent us from having updated media (I really don't see what is difficult as having updates included with the dvd, enough to include the relevant update repository content) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-eic8MSSfM http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1412160445 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
