This weekend I plan on trying out the Beta 1 of 10.2. I've got a nice squeaky clean partition ready to go... hope it's as good as people are indicating.... I've got confidence :-)
Please tell me how you went when you try an install it from a DVD (if this is what you are going to be using).
I created a DVD from the 6 discs and 10.2 will NOT go past the first attempt to connect to the server to get the new updates and the source. Keeps coming up with the error message that there is "No products to register". Bloody stupid thing! Installing via the CDs is fine.
Welll I installed 10.2 Beta 1 last night (from DVD iso)... and it went mostly ok :-) I say mostly cuz part way through my router decided to go pout in a corner and stopped working for any OS that was attempting to connect. That caused some probs... but that wasn't related to the 10.2 install. Otherwise... nicely done. It's well worth checking out. There are a lot of changes (visually) between 10.1 and 10.2. Most noticeable is the new KMenu style (takes a lot of getting used to cuz it works so differently to anything KDE has ever had before)... and the zen tool... totally different look. I still don't know how it performs compared to the 10.1 mess... from what I read... there is no comparison. :-) That's a good thing. It appears to be yet another quality SUSE release, and hopefully one everyone is happy with it this time. Ha ha... there will always be something someone will find to grumble about. for me... It looks even more like an OS I'd unleash on my friends who are running scared (as the should) from Vista. Anyway.... check it out if you can. C. .
