I tried to install SuSE8.2 on my Dell Laptop(8100 Inspiron with SuSE8.1) last day and when using the DVD the installation process stalls on "Evaluating package selection". When I used the ordinary CD's the install proceeded.
I've seen that one too. A bug in the install process, reported, and blamed on drive firmware (not in MHO).
So what's up with the DVD? What's the point having the DVD if they don't work? I used the DVD for 7.3, 8.0, 8.1 and I have no intention to switch to CD's now... :-)
You can, AFTER CD install, switch install source to DVD and then use the DVD just fine.
That's the way I did it with 8.1... :-) I noticed the 8.2 DVD includes more RPM's than the CD's... http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/pohletz_paketdiffs_82.html I might copy the darn DVD to my fileserver and do a network installation ...
