Quoting Bayard Coolidge <n1ho@yahoo.com>:
I did an upgrade from Beta5 to RC1, with mixed results.
A few weeks ago, I filed a BZ 430284 enumerating a number of problems with the slowness of the installation system. I have just updated that BZ with further quantitative data. I waited 7 minutes for "loading basic drivers" before literally pulling the USB plug and then reinserting it. There were 5 minute delays looking for USB devices, and ieee1394 devices. Overall, it was an agonizingly slow process, but eventually I got my Beta5 system upgraded to RC1 without having to pull/reinsert the USB plug.
However, the RC1 system seems to have a network problem - eth0 comes up and I can ping my printer's ethernet port, but can't resolve any addresses, especially 'download.opensuse.org', which makes completion of the installation somewhat problematic. I'll try to work on it as time permits over the weekend.
I've had more than a trivial number of "can't find the repository" during updates or installs in Yast2 once the system is up and running. I've just been assuming it was some kind of server-side issue ... they usually work when I retry them. I'm currently doing a network install of RC1 and it seems to be running fine over eth0. However, I am using the closest repository I know of http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/11.1-RC1/repo/oss/ rather than the default. Still, it's taking about 1.5 hours to install all the packages (Gnome desktop).
