[opensuse-project] openSUSE 10.3 PromoDVDs
Hi, Again we offer to send PromoDVDs, for more information take a look at the wiki page: http://en.opensuse.org/PromoDVD Short: It's a live version with KDE/GNOME, but you can also install it. 32bit only as always. The DVD is made to promote openSUSE, especially on exhibitions and other events, local usergroups, schools, universities and so on. If you want some DVDs, send a mail with: - exactly the subject "openSUSE 10.3 PromoDVDs", send it to marketing@opensuse.org. Mails to me or the list will be ignored. - a _brief_ explanation why you want DVDs - a link if it's for a university, school, event etc. - the date of the event or deadline when you need the DVDs. - full postal address, with name and telephone number (i need this for FedEx) if possible the address in latin (western) characters, makes it easier for us. In a perfect world i just have to copy&paste the address from the mail ... - amount of DVDs Please understand that the goal is not to send single DVDs for personal use. Some people already sent me a request. If i didn't answered please resend the mail. First come first serve, no promises ... -- with kind regards, Martin Lasarsch, Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nürnberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) martin.lasarsch@suse.de - http://www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
Why are these not made available for download? This does not make sense. At least you'd be able to use the OS while it's installing (as opposed to the Live DVDs which offer no method of installation, if you want to install it, you then have to download more CDs/DVD) On Tuesday 29 January 2008 11:53:43 pm Martin Lasarsch wrote:

There are Live medias and installable medias for download. The promo edition is a combination of both, but we do not want to waste storage on mirrors. This would be pure duplication, we would like to use this space for new stuff instead. bye adrian

Yes but then you have to download (and burn) multiple CDs. Why not just modify the existing live CDs perminantly so that it is possible install from live CD. (Then use those as the promo CDs) On Wednesday 30 January 2008 08:26:46 pm Adrian Schröter wrote:

Because the promo DVD has way more than just a default KDE and a default GNOME. And the live CDs are contained verbatim on the promos.

Then keep the promo and live DVDs seperate. But I still think that if it's possible to install from the promo DVD, then it should be possible to install from the live DVD. On Wednesday 30 January 2008 09:04:05 pm Stephan Kulow wrote:
