If iso file has correct md5sum that is published in: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1-RC1/iso/ as <your_live_iso_name>.iso.md5 than you really have current RC1.
The problem is that the file names are the same, but they have different md5sum. The 11.1-RC1 directory on ftp5.gwdg.de wasn't possible to access right after the error was spotted, so I'm sure that ftp admin promptly reacted, but check with md5sum will make sure that you didn't catch the old
Why don't you just rsync the correct ISO over your incorrect ISO then it will become the same for very little bandwidth. Q
one.
I just checked openSUSE-11.1-RC1-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso.md5 is the same in: ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/11.1-RC1/iso/ and http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1-RC1/iso/

Actually, since I don't have much loaded on it, I think I'm going to try reloading with a network install. That didn't work yesterday because stuff hadn't propagated to the mirrors yet, but it should be OK now, right? -- M.

I haven't tried NET installation recently. It keeps computer busy for hours, and when it fails you have to start from scratch. It should be OK, though. The way that installation from Live CD works is what I did for years. Create minimal functional GUI, and then add whatever comes in mind. The md5sum is trivial to check from console, but there is one show stopper in wrong version that reflects as wrong hard disk device name, /dev/hda instead of /dev/sda . Boot to installed system. Start console from Main Menu. List files in /dev/ directory looking for any 'sd*' . This should give you some output, even if only partition is Windows. Here is mine: # ls /dev/sd* /dev/sda /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 /dev/sda7 /dev/sda9 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb3 /dev/sda1 /dev/sda3 /dev/sda6 /dev/sda8 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb2 When you try to list 'hd*' than 'ls' command will complain: # ls /dev/hd* ls: cannot access /dev/hd*: No such file or directory So if you can see listed /dev/sda (whole disk) and /dev/sdaN (N=1, 2, 3, ..., for partitions) than you have new version. If it lists only /dev/hda than it is older version that has to be replaced. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org

Yeah, the LiveCD install is blindingly fast -- I don't think any other distro gets finished that fast on my system. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org
