We're already testing by downloading the alpha, beta and RC versions and reporting bugs in bugzilla. At least I ( and others ) try and help in this manner.
Yes, of course, I do also, but the problems with 11.1 shows we are not enough. The test system is also not good enough. Bugs have not only to be reported but to be fixed :-) And to fix them, devs have to find what happen. This is much easier in fixed environment, at first. Right now, it's impossible to install 11.2 with mini cd in virtualbox. I was said 'we know the isos are broken'. Is not this a very first job to do? How can we make our testing base greater if the elementary steps can't be done? The worst install case is the no install at all. Hardware incorrectly detected. This should be adressed *first*, before any other testing begin., and as much as possible on mastered environment. VirtualBox is the very first easier install environment and should be adressed first, because nearly anybody can test it without broking his system, and because nearly any demo can be done in virtualbox. Updating again and again from factory is, I think, of little interest because nobody ever do so in real world and it akes a very special system. It's good later when the base system works. Once at least the virtual linux are running, anybody can test a complete install, still in virtualized environment. personnally, I could even run most of my work in this virtualbox (having a full stable install at hand to the other part) to test the distro on real day to day work. and then, of course we could start testing installs on real hardware, this task tested with minimal software (the install cd, with no apps) 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+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
